    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Prologue: "This story is inspired by a single true event. It left three men dead, two serving life imprisonment and another living under an assumed identity. The rest is fiction, as are all the characters."
    • Goofs
      When Jason talks to John outside his posh house, at approx 31:45 in John says "I'm very grateful for what you did for me inside, Jason".

      Jason turns his head away and says "that's all right", but his jaw does not move, and the words are very obviously over-dubbed.
    • Quotes
      • Billy Reynolds: [voiceover] See 'im, Peter, he's the top boy - he runs the show. And 'im, Wayne, does whatever Peter tells 'im. And Jason, well, every firm needs a mad acid-bath murderer, don't they?
    • Crazy credits
      Statement in opening titles: "This story is inspired by a single true event. It left three men dead, two serving life imprisonment and another living under an assumed identity. The rest is fiction, as are all the characters."
