Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe unusual car chase scenes after the kidnapping were Benicio Del Toro's idea. He suggested this to writer and director Christopher McQuarrie after watching Cops (1989), where a couple of criminals did the same when cops were chasing them.
- GoofsWhen Longabaugh shoots the first Federale with the sniper rifle, the sonic crack of the bullet is heard, and the impact is seen, before the report of the rifle is audible, indicating a range of over 700 yards, far beyond the range of Jeffers' pistol. Yet Jeffers is able to put down effectively accurate suppressive fire at that range.
- Crazy creditsHenry Griffin is listed as P. Whipped. He is the guy whose girlfriend is yelling at Parker and Longbaugh and ends up fighting them, thus he is "P[ussy] Whipped."
- Alternate versionsIn Germany, a FSK-16 version was released and was cut. An FSK-18 uncut version was also released.
Featured review
Worth owning!
From the very beginning, I knew I was about to see something I hadn't seen before. This movie is nuts! This is one of those movies that has you sitting at attention because it is absolutely unpredictable. The action scenes are great because they're a stray from the normal "heroes with impeccable aim" shootouts that we're all so used to seeing. Check it out so you could see what I mean. The acting is pretty good and that goes even for Ryan Phillipe, who I wanted to strangle until I saw this flick. What is up with that accent of his in this movie? Where the hell is he supposed to be from? Benicio Del Toro does better here than he did in Usual Suspects. Sorry Fenster fans, but Longbaugh is the man now. The only complaint I had with this movie was that it was a little hard to follow. It's very easy to get lost here but pay attention, gang. This movie deserves it. A hidden gem. **** out of *****.
