    • Trivia
      The opening 20 minute Steadicam sequence is not really one continuous shot - there are numerous hidden edits. At least 12 minutes of the sequence was done in one take.
    • Goofs
      (at around 26 mins) When Santoro is speaking with Lincoln Tyler in his room for the first time, Lincoln says he was head-butted and there are 2 butterfly stitches on his right eye brow. When he sends everyone out of the room you can clearly see that Lincoln now has 3 butterfly stitches on his right eyebrow while talking with Santoro.
    • Quotes

      Commander Kevin Dunne: How's Angela?

      Rick Santoro: Fat, fabulous, fantastic--I love her.

      Commander Kevin Dunne: How's the other one--what's her name? Candy?

      Rick Santoro: Oh, Monique? Skinny, mean, expensive--I *LOVE* her!

    • Crazy credits
      The end credits scroll over a construction site scene (presumably the new casino), closing in tighter and tighter until the final shot is of a bright red jewel embedded in a concrete pillar that the workmen are installing. Most of the time the jewel is hidden under the hand of one of the workers. The ring was worn by the red-haired woman/Navy agent who was part of Commander Kevin Dunn's scheme.

    falls apart after the intro
    Cage is a slick, crooked (and flamboyant) Atlantic City cop with dreams of making it to the big time. While attending a highly publicized boxing match with friend and Naval officer Sinise, he finds himself in the midst of a conspiracy after an important political figure is assassinated, and for the first time he decides to try and complete his job in honest fashion. Stylish but disappointing thriller begins with nifty camera work and has the makings of something really special, but once you get past all the fancy tricks there's really nothing left to hold your interest. Even worse, the film clearly suffers from some last minute edits. **
