When a simple jewelry heist goes horribly wrong, the surviving criminals begin to suspect that one of them is a police informant.
Viggo Mortensen auditioned for a role. He read for a Hispanic character in a scene to be performed with Harvey Keitel. More than twenty years later, Quentin Tarantino offered him a role in The Hateful Eight (2015), but Viggo couldn't commit, due to scheduling conflicts.

When Mr. Blonde duct tapes Nash's mouth shut, he tapes right over the bottom half of his ear. At the time when he is about to cut it off the tape is below his ear.

The ear slicing scene was cut in the Finnish VHS release
