Trivia

The fairy tale, Jack and the Beanstalk, is referenced in this movie. Gary says, "You don't blame the guy who sold the idiot magic beans. You blame the idiot who traded his cow for the magic beans." Sonny replies with, "That's not what happened in the story, the magic beans worked!"

Goofs

When returning to Los Compos De Oro with the newly-kidnapped Morgan, the second aerial shot of them on the highway shows Sonny's yellow Hummer driving on the left side of the road (and the random vehicle traveling the opposite direction driving on their left side of the road), as if suddenly driving in the UK for the one camera shot.

User Reviews

Good start but...

The movie had a good start, nice setting and is generally well made and has good acting, but the last third was a bit weak...not horroble but no masterpiece either.
