    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Gary Oldman stated in a 2012 interview that he headed immediately to the set of True Romance (1993) the day after wrapping on this film. The final scene was actually shot last, and he states that in the scene, he already has the "swagger" of his True Romance (1993) pimp character Drexl Spivey, prompting his then-girlfriend to suggest he do another take.
    • Goofs
      A lot is made in the film of the dates May 1 and December 1 being on a cycle of every six months, but the dates are not evenly spaced. December is seven months after May, leaving only five months until the next May 1.
    • Quotes

      Jack Grimaldi: So you're the big hoodlum? Personally, I don't see it.

      Mona Demarkov: Keep lookin'.

    • Crazy credits
      Michael Kuhn is credited as 'Big Cheese,' the same credit he's received on at least 11 other films, including Kalifornia (1993), Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994), and Home for the Holidays (1995).
    • Alternate versions
      The Australian Region 4 disc, released by Magna Pacific/Becker Entertainment, is the censored TV version. All swearing has been removed as well as close-up shots of bullet hits and nudity.

    Terrific Movie!
    I happened to stumble on this one night. What a mesmerizing movie! Gary Oldman is terrific as a corrupt Detective. You get the feeling from this guy that he was probably once a young, idealistic, honest cop, who has just been slowly manipulated, and seduced by the seaminess, the money, the sex, the despair.

    How this guy could stray from Annabella Sciorra is beyond me, but that's another story.

    What you see is this guy's whole life crumble down around him, due to his poor choices, his dishonesty, and his inability to control his cravings. Just about everything that could go wrong does, and his entire life, everything he thought he was working for, virtually blows up in his face.

    To finally see, and realize all he's lost is played out very well by Oldman. A very well-done, well-acted film.
