Directed by: Brian Helgeland
Starring: Mel Gibson, Lucy Liu, Maria Bello, Kris Kristofferson, John Glover, David Paymer, William Devane, Bill Duke, Gregg Henry, Deborah Unger, Jack Conley
Continuity mistake: After the final explosion the camera shows a closeup of the car keys in the ignition, a Ford. Camera shows him driving away in a Cadillac.
Stegman: You know what, Val, this one's on me. OK?
Val Resnick: Do you see me reaching for my fucking wallet?
Trivia: The tagline for this film, "Get ready to root for the bad guy," was changed for the Australian release to "Get ready to cheer for the bad guy" after Mel Gibson pointed out the other meaning of the word "root" in Australian slang (to have sex) to the producers.

Answer: Quote, "A work man is worthy of his hire." In the original version, the Mob Boss asked, "why are you doing all this?" He replied, "I want my money." It's as simple as that. He did a job and wants his payment.
