Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaPatrick Swayze was at one point attached to the role Joseph Fiennes plays in this movie. But he had seconds thoughts shortly before filming because he didn't think he could ''pull it off.'' Schrader did not insist on him taking the role as he thought that if Swayze didn't think he could pull it off, he ''probably wouldn't be able to.''
- GoofsAlan works at the Don Cesar hotel which is prominently shown in the film and he has a figure of the hotel with its name on it in his room at McCleans in NY. The water by the hotel is called the ocean by many people and Ray Liotta is seen taking a boat to Bimini. This leaves the impression that the hotel is near Miami in Key Biscayne, but in reality it is near Tampa on the Gulf of Mexico (not the Atlantic Ocean) and a day trip to Bimini from there is out of the question.
- Quotes
Manuel Esquema: Everything has a purpose. Everybody has a purpose. It is my purpose to be with Ella. Nothing can change that; not you, not the police, not the courts. It's just a fact. Like... like plants turning to the Sun, or death, or taxes.
Mark Brice: What is this gibberish? Are you crazy? Nobody talks like this. Make sense!
Manuel Esquema: People are afraid to say what they feel. Ella is afraid.
Mark Brice: I'm not afraid to say what I feel. There's two types of people in this world; assholes and pricks. You're an asshole. And I'm a prick. Do the math. Ella's mine.

As for the rest of the movie, Paul Schrader's script is lazy and dull, full of lines that a third grader could've wrote. Too bad because Mr. Schrader has the film noir-ish tone down pat and the photography is great to look at. There's just nothing to occupy the space. We've seen all this before ('Body Heat' comes to mind as well as a slew of others) where this conventional set-up has clicked and provided for some tasty entertainment, but it does not do so here and the result is so-so. Oh, and the ending sucks. Skip it.
