    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The plot of the film is similar to a real-life incident that occurred in 2003 to pizza delivery man Brian Douglass Wells, depicted in Evil Genius: The True Story of America's Most Diabolical Bank Heist (2018). The writers said they only had "vague knowledge" of this case before writing. Wells's sister publicly lambasted the film saying she doesn't 'think it's funny to laugh at the innocent who are victimized by criminals, who care nothing for human life."
    • Goofs
      While watching Friday the 13th Part III (1982), Dwayne tells his father there are 45 minutes left in the movie. However, the scene they are watching is the final scene in the film.
    • Quotes

      Nick: Now, give me the fucking code.

      Dwayne: Alright. 69-69-69.

      Nick: [pauses] You gotta be fucking kidding me.

    • Crazy credits
      At the end of the credits, there is an ad for Dwayne's tanning/prostitution parlor, Major Tan.

    Good plot, lousy writing
    This could have been a fun movie...there is a plot, the casting is good...but once again, we have a prime case of screen writers who really aren't. It's as if, in half the movies these days, and this is a perfect example of one, the writers have no clue as to how to write dialogue, so they decide to talk dirty for an hour and a half and call it good. It isn't. It's awful. If this is still the remains of trying for shock value in movies, it doesn't work anymore. It's boring. It's dull. It's repetitive. Viewers don't want shock value. We want entertainment. Somewhere out there in Hollywood land, there have to be writers who can actually write - who have imagination - who have creativity. But, unfortunately, none were hired for this movie. Blah!
