    • Trivia
      Omar Epps mentioned in several interviews that he greatly disliked the denim Levi's clothes he and the cast had to wear because the jeans were very tight. He mentioned that there are several moments captured on screen during film where he wears a frown and grimace facial expression due to his jeans being too tight. The clothing in the film was specifically customized and provided by Levi's. When the film was released, Levi's put out denim commercials featuring Epps, Danes, and Ribisi.

      Near the end, a car crashes through a warehouse. The walls looked to be made of tin. The vehicle was moving too fast to be stopped by one wall and the items that the vehicle hit on the inside of the warehouse. The vehicle should have crashed through the other wall since no one was in it to apply the brakes.

      [Julie hits Pete across the head]

      Julie: Nice job.

      Pete: Okay, I really did not like that at all, all right? Let me just explain somethin'. I was blending.

      Julie: You just blended your ass right out of the club, man

      Pete: Oh, come on! They're gonna let me back in the club.

      Julie: Oh no, I believe the words were "you're gone for-f*cking-ever." Greer's gonna kick your ass

      Pete: Hey you know what? Eat me.

      Julie: Come on. Lets go. You wanna lose another fight, Petey?

      Pete: No. Who was the guy that you were talkin' to all night?

      Julie: What guy?

      Pete: Yeah, "what guy." What guy?

      Linc: A suspect?

      Julie: What? No. I don't even know what he's talkin' about. God, how could you see anything? You had your head buried in a pair of tits all night.

      Pete: I could see things because I got eyes behind my head, all right? Julie's got a boyfriend. Julie's got...

      Julie: Please grow up!

      Pete: Let's all together, in harmony.

    The lowest expectations are still too high ...
    If the writers of a movie don't care about the characters inhabiting the world they create, nor the actors portraying them, or the director ostensibly creating a dynamic, well it doesn't seem realistic the audience will care either.

    To call this movie slapdash is an undeserved compliment--it's likely they figured it was a lost cause and that no amount of work would improve it. That's probably true.

    Omar Epps isn't a very good actor to begin with, but here he's even worse than usual, mumbling his lines without a clue as to what is going on in the movie. Giovanni Rabisi seems to have fun with his role, but playing one imbecile after another, one gets the feeling he may not be so much acting as giving a glimmer as to his real personality. Claire Danes obviously can act, as she showed in "Little Women", but here she's dreadful. Dennis Farina is good in just about anything, but here he's given absolutely no help by the director or the other actors.

    The movie quickly devolves into a series of music videos with bad seventies music intermixed with more modern stuff. And this squad is not very mod--the opening sequence notes that mod means fashionably dressed, and these guys look like they've been shopping by picking up things strewn on the side of an interstate. Go elsewhere for entertainment.
