    • Trivia
      Directorial debut of Saul Rubinek.
    • Goofs
      Tom wrongly states that Bobby Kennedy was killed two years after John Kennedy's assassination in 1963. The exact year was 1968, which makes as five years later.
    • Quotes

      Tom: Jerry, you're angry, and you're holding a power tool. This is not advisable. Says so right on the box: "Do not operate while under the influence of alcohol or while pissed off."

    Witty, black comedy with terrific performances...
    1st watched 4/1/2001 - 7 out of 10(Dir-Saul Rubinek): Witty, black comedy with terrific performances by Mantegna and Sam Rockwell. This is the kind of movie that is somewhat of a guilty pleasure because there are times when you're laughing as someone is getting killed or at least in the process of being killed. This is definetly the intent of filmmaker Saul Rubinek where there is a mix of normal guy(who happens to be a hitman)and hitmen(who just happen to own a used car lot). The movie starts out in the present as it appears Jerry and Tom are waiting to "do" another person, and then takes you back ten years to show you how Jerry got involved in the business that Tom already has been doing for many years. There isn't much morality here and really no lessons are taught but that's ok it's just a movie, and a pretty good one at that.
