    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Both Ray Liotta and Jason Patric participated in the film for nearly no money. In fact, at one point during production the cast and crew's paychecks weren't coming through due to legal and budgetary issues, so Liotta and Patric worked for free because they liked writer/director Joe Carnahan and didn't want to see his career ruined by the shutting down of his movie.
    • Goofs
      Towards the end of the movie, Jason Patric breaks open the car window and, when he opens the door, the legs of several crewmembers are visible through the door's rearview mirror.
    • Quotes

      [Oak has just caught Tellis questioning Calvess' wife]

      Henry Oak: What the fuck are you doing talking to her without me being here?

      Nick Tellis: I brought her husband's things over.

      Henry Oak: Yeah, and you questioned her. What for? WHAT FOR?

      Nick Tellis: What is this, "mother may I"? You said we were gonna do some of this on our own, right?

      Henry Oak: [pointing his finger] Some of this doesn't extend to her! And don't get fucking cute with me!

      Nick Tellis: Get your hand outta my face...

      Henry Oak: If you need to know what she said about anything case-related, you refer to the file!

      Nick Tellis: Yeah, I looked at the files, they're thin!

      Henry Oak: What you don't fucking do is talk to her without notifying me in advance! That's not the way we do things!

      Nick Tellis: Why's that? What's the problem with me speaking to her?

      Henry Oak: Because... the problem is every fucking question you asked her she's already answered! She's been badgered and bothered by cops and cop questions for two fucking months now, and the biggest fucking problem is her husband... is fucking... dead!

    Good movie, great actors
    Seeing that Ray Liotta is one of my favourite actors, I was pretty sure this movie was going to be very good. And it is a good movie. It is dark, well acted and it tells a story of how far some people are willing to go to honour the memory of a friend and colleague. One cop, Nick Tellis, suspended after a stray bullet hits a pregnant woman, is put on a murder investigation of an undercover cop. He teams up with bad ass cop Henry Oak and together they try to solve it. But if everything as it seems? Both lead actors in this movie, Jason Patrick and Ray Liotta, do a great job. You really get the feeling like you are in the movie instead of just watching it. Most of all, the characters are believable and that is so important for a movie like this. If you like thrillers with a dash of action and drama, you will enjoy this movie. I know I did. I rate this movie 7/10
