Trivia

In the opening sequence of the film, the helicopter that appears overhead during the bank robbery shootout was actually a News Chopper that had flown in to see what was going on because there were so many gunshots. The cinematographers zoomed into the chopper, and one of the crew climbed onto an overhead parking garage and shot a take with his video camera. The shot of the chopper and the video footage of the crew person were edited together so it appears they are shooting news footage from the helicopter.

Goofs

User Reviews

C rate movie

Looks good for the low budget, but a terrible script and very very badly acted. I am sure some of the votes of 10 stars are from friends of the director or something. This looks like a well made student film. I know it was shot on film and some of it is shot very well. I am sure most of the budget was spent on the shoot not on getting a good script or good actors. The director does show promise, I would like to see what he does with a decent script. This is by no means on par with any thing like a Sexy Beast, or Tarantino flick. More like a very bad Steven Segal film or a Brian Bosworth film. A best this film is joke of an action film. If there cast were believable and said believable things it would be bearable.
