A bit of history on the prison Danny is released from (twice). The fictional "North Jersey State Prison" is actually East Jersey State Prison in Rahway, NJ. There are currently 13 state correctional facilities in NJ all of which are given names such as Midstate Correctional Facility, Bayside State Prison, New Jersey State Prison, etc however at one time prisons in NJ were named after the town they were located in. New Jersey State Prison was Trenton State Prison, Bayside State Prison was Leesburg, and East Jersey State Prison was the infamous Rahway State Prison however the city of Rahway, NJ didn't like that their town was only know for it's prison facility so the city petitioned the state to rename the facility as it felt that the name of Rahway being synonymous with the prison affected property values. Ironically, when referring to the prison it is still referred to as "Rahway". See more »

When Livingston Dell is getting the signals of the security system in the casino, he exits the area with his shirt all stained with sweat. He forgets the gadget he uses to do his job and the security guy goes after him to give it back, and reaches him when he's about to exit. At that point, Livingston's shirt is not stained anymore. However, no production will go to the trouble to do "stain continuity". See more »

At the request of my friends & family over the recent holidays I went to see this film. Though it's not my usual M.O., I really enjoyed this movie.
I've not seen the original 'Rat Pack' version of the movie (except bits and pieces), so a comparison between the two is not possible on my part.
This version I found playful and relatively harmless, and the plot twists are undeniably clever. The comradery between the actors is the most entertaining part of this film in my opinion. Elliot Gould's part had to be my favorite character if forced to pick, followed in close order by Clooney, Pitt & Damon. Actually all of the actors did an excellent job with their roles.
This movie won't change the world, or probably change your mind about anything significant, but the plot is fun, the cinematography is excellent, the actors all shine in their roles, and on occasion that is enough.
