    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      In the end credits there is a special thanks to Harvey Keitel. He was not involved in the movie as such, but he made a very important phone call to Tim Roth. Roth had been offered a big and well-paid part in a big budget film immediately before this low budget independent film was to begin shooting. Harvey Keitel made a phone call to Roth, giving him the following advice: "Don't take the money. Take the film you really want to make". So Roth stayed with this project.
