Directed by: Christian Gudegast
Starring: Gerard Butler, Pablo Schreiber, Jordan Bridges, Evan Jones
Continuity mistake: At the beginning armored truck scene. Marcus blows the armored car with shape charges. After the doors pop Marcus' shotgun is flashed with a drum style magazine. However, when Marcus squares off in the next scene with police he has a mag style.
Audio problem: When Donnie is grabbed after leaving the Federal Reserve there is an audible sound like a fence is being hit, but the concrete barrier is front of the fence, and Donnie is never seen pushed into the fence.
Ray Merrimen: We're cop killers now. (00:09:30)
Trivia: Gerard Butler and his crew are loosely based on former ATF agent, Jay Dobyns, who consulted on the film. Dobyns is best known for his undercover work and his willingness to infiltrate crime organizations, much like Gerard Butler. Dobyns makes a cameo in the film at the bar Donnie works at in LA, closing his tab at the bar.
Question: Early on we see the crooks put wet cash in a microwave, presumably to dry it. Would that work? I just assume you'd end up with hot wet cash - I would have thought an oven or hairdryer or something would be a better bet.
Answer: There are videos of people drying money in microwaves, but it was a single layer of bills. But it can be tricky because, like wet clothes, it can catch on fire in the microwave if let in too long.

Answer: Considering how microwave ovens work, it seems it would. Microwaves work by bombarding whatever is inside with actual 'microwaves' which works to excite the water molecules within. Paper, and in the case of cash, cotton, wouldn't be affected on its own but the water inside would be. Ever had something wrapped in a paper towel when you microwave it? The cash is not metal, and the water content is what gets heated up inside and evaporated, so I believe it would work.
