Trivia: Quentin Tarantino wanted James Woods to play a role in the film, and made him five different cash offers. Woods' agent refused the offers without ever mentioning it to Woods as the sums offered were well below what Woods would usually receive. When Tarantino and Woods later met for the first time, Woods learned of the offer and was annoyed enough to get a new agent. Tarantino avoided telling Woods which role he was offered "because the actor who played the role was magnificent anyway". It is widely accepted that the role that Tarantino was referring to was Mr. Orange. (more)

Goofs: Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Near the end, we learn that the cops are waiting for Joe to arrive at the warehouse before they make the bust. Why, then, do the police (presumably a different team) show themselves at the robbery? Because of the gunplay involving civilians. (more)

Quotes:
[first lines]
Mr. Brown: What the fuck was I talking about?
Mr. Pink: You said "True Blue" was about a guy... a sensitive girl who meets a nice guy, but 'Like a Virgin' was a metaphor for big dicks.

really a great movie!, 17 December 2004
10/10
Author: brandonennals from New Jersey,United States

I watched this movie for the first time without knowing what the movie was about. I remember hearing about how cool this movie was and I saw people wearing shirts and listening to the soundtrack, but I had never seen it. So when it first came out on DVD, I bought it without ever watching it before. In Tarantino I trust. For good reason. This is a classic movie, a throwback. A movie about a jewel heist gone wrong and the consequences of working with strangers. This flick has a great cast, great script, and flawless direction. Taratino films are great because they stress the story more than anything else. In all of his movies, the script is strong enough to carry the movie. Now add good over the top acting and you have a hit. The realism of this movie is what grabs you. You really feel like you are in that abandoned warehouse. If felt privileged to have bought such a movie without watching it first. An instant classic. I love this movie!
