Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Two stories, 14 years apart, converge in a suburb of New York. Manuel Esquema, an international financier, whose face is badly scarred, is flying from Miami to help a New York politician negotiate a plea bargain with the Justice Department. Years before, this financier was a fresh-faced cabaña boy at a Miami Beach resort who fell in love with a young woman on holiday with her husband. The husband is now the pol, and he thinks he dispatched the cabaña boy long ago. What are Esquema's plans: revenge, mercy, or a complicated plan to seek again the woman's love?

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Patrick Swayze was at one point attached to the role Joseph Fiennes plays in this movie. But he had seconds thoughts shortly before filming because he didn't think he could ''pull it off.'' Schrader did not insist on him taking the role as he thought that if Swayze didn't think he could pull it off, he ''probably wouldn't be able to.'' See more » |
| Goofs | Alan works at the Don Cesar hotel which is prominently shown in the film and he has a figure of the hotel with its name on it in his room at McCleans in NY. The water by the hotel is called the ocean by many people and Ray Liotta is seen taking a boat to Bimini. This leaves the impression that the hotel is near Miami in Key Biscayne, but in reality it is near Tampa on the Gulf of Mexico (not the Atlantic Ocean) and a day trip to Bimini from there is out of the question.

| Quotes |
Manuel Esquema:
Everything has a purpose. Everybody has a purpose. It is my purpose to be with Ella. Nothing can change that; not you, not the police, not the courts. It's just a fact. Like... like plants turning to the Sun, or death, or taxes. Mark Brice: What is this gibberish? Are you crazy? Nobody talks like this. Make sense! Manuel Esquema: People are afraid to say what they feel. Ella is afraid. Mark Brice: I'm not afraid to say what I feel. There's two types of people in this world; assholes and pricks. You're an asshole. And I'm a prick. Do the math. Ella's mine. See more » |
