    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      In a Reddit AMA discussion, Jeff Bridges said that he enjoyed making the movie with the cast and crew, but attributed its failure to studio interference. Bridges said, "The suits just cut it against the grain, and, I thought, screwed it up." He described the film as "underwhelming."
    • Goofs
      In the elevator scene, Nick shoots the elevator cable that causes the elevator to rocket upwards. If the safety features are defeated, shooting the counterweight would send it downward. Sending it upward by shooting a counterweight would imply the weights are there to keep the elevator from rising. Also, when the elevator breaks through the roof, there is no sign of the rigging and machinery the elevator needs above it.
    • Quotes
      • Roy Pulsipher: [to Nick] You are just gonna have to learn to sit on your regret and pain until it turns into a dull, persistent ache. The way I do it. The way a man does it.
      • Business Person: [walks up to Roy's avatar] I do music videos. Home phone number's on the back.
      • Roy Pulsipher: Excuse me? I'm not a piece of meat put on this earth for your gratification, I'm a woman. Respect me or I will castrate you like a three-year-old steer.
    • Crazy credits
      As the primary cast is first being shown, the names are accompanied by images relevant to their characters: Roy's ten-gallon hat, Proctor's white boots, Hayes' St. Christopher's medal, etc.
    • Alternate versions
      There are apparently two versions in circulation, a worldwide theatrical cut and one for the United States. There is no significant difference in length between the two. Runtimes are "1h 36m (96 min)" and "1h 36m (96 min) (United States)", respectively.
