TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

In order to keep as authentic of an American accent as possible, Cillian Murphy didn't use his true Irish accent on set until the film finished shooting.

The entire film was shot in just 22 days.

While it did premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2007, the film was unable to secure distribution for a theater release and so went straight to DVD.

The title of the film is taken from a 1977 Elvis Costello song, from the album "My Aim Is True".

Baby Emerson is actually played by Cillian's own son.

Popular Dialogues

"Lucien: Ya know, we could do this later if you want? Neil: Oh god Lucien, she's ruined it for me Lucien. I mean it's all so boring now! Lucien: Hey, hey let's put in a movie? Neil: No, no more movies. It's no use, it's not enough anymore, ya know? It's just all so mundane and so predictable Lucien. Oh hey look! It's Jayson. Jayson's going to come in here and he's going to hand me a package, and then he's going hand me his thing, and I'm going to sign the thing and I'm going to hand it right back to him, and then he's going to get in his truck and he's going to drive of. Oh, it's... it's so predictable Lucien, it's not enough anymore, ya know? Where's the... where's the adventure, you know? [while signing Jayson's package] Neil: there's no adventure man. Where's the adventure Lucien? Jay: You signed it Neil Adventure. [Neil signs it again] Jay: You crossed out Adventure and wrote adventure again. Neil: What does it matter Jayson? Huh! [Neil walks away] Jay: It matters because I'm actually responsible for any package that doesn't have a valiad signature or receipt... Lucien: [Goes to sign the package] Jesus Christ... Jay: I don't make the rules. Lucien: Lighten up Jayson."

"Denise: I bet you're gonna say next it's not you, it's me. Neil: No, no, no, it's definitely you. Look, Denise, you're not enough like Katharine Ross in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Denise: I don't know what that means! Neil: She was so supportive, you know. She... she didn't make Paul Newman feel stupid. She went along with it."
