    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The idea to have Jack Walsh (Robert De Niro) continually checking his watch--and the whole back-story related to his habit--was all De Niro's idea.
    • Goofs
      The action in the movie takes them through Amarillo, Texas in the Texas panhandle. Mountains are visible between the buildings in the background. The topography of the panhandle is a flat, treeless plain.
    • Quotes

      Jimmy Serrano: Is this moron number one? Put moron number two on the phone.

    • Crazy credits
      In the opening credits, Robert De Niro's name is spelled Robert DeNiro.
    • Alternate versions
      Two cuts to remove lock-picking details were made to the UK video version, which was also upgraded from a 15 cinema certificate to an 18 on video. The British DVD release in 2000 restored the cuts made to previous UK versions.

    fun fun fun
    Here is a movie of my favourite sort regardless of the genre - you feel you would neither add nor substract anything from it. Excellent cast, beautiful script, professional director's work. The main strength of the movie can be found in its unpretentiousness. It primarily aims at providing fun and entertainment, and fulfills it in an efficient way. You have your comedy and action galore.

    We are usually willing to suspend our disbelief when watching comedies. No such need when it comes to this movie - the plot, the relations between characters, their motives, everything works like a flawless machinery. It is as credible as life itself.

    The movie is brimming with memorable scenes. I have seen it twice - first when it appeared more than 15 years ago, and then again yesterday. I was delighted to find that the movie had lost nothing of its freshness and endured all time traps. I highly recommend it.

    9/10 !
