TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The phone number from the waitress that James has in his pocket is actually a Philadelphia area prank number for "Outsource a Friendship to India". It is part of a series of fake numbers that it's suggested women give out to men they don't want anything to do with.

'Karcharías' is the general name of the larger human-eating species of shark in modern demotic Greek, unchanged from ancient Greek, or in slang as in the English 'loan shark', a ruthless moneylender but in Greek it is applied without the 'loan' epithet as when applied to a person it is understood to mean a money lender who charges exorbitant interest and often uses rough necks to ensure payment.

Apart from McDowell and Zane, the director selected the remaining lead actors for this film using the precise method employed in the plot. After an hour locked in the green room, David Dastmalchian emerged covered in his former colleagues' blood and a fine memorisation of his lines in the script.

The film's fictional corporation is called Carcharias, which is the scientific genus for certain species of shark. During the film, the Employer (Malcolm McDowell) discusses his admiration for the ferociousness of sharks.

Winner of the award for Best Thriller Feature at the 2012 Illinois International Film Festival.

Popular Dialogues

"[first lines] Man: Look, look, I did it. I pulled this out of the wall. Come on! We can both do this, we can get out of here. Come on!"

"The Employer: Say I could guarantee you absolutely that you would never get caught. Keith Caverns: Well, then in that case, I'd be pretty much up for anything. The Employer: No moral objections, huh? Keith Caverns: That would be between me and God. And if I was working here, I'd leave Him out of it."
