Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Eliza Roberts is Eric Roberts' actual wife, so their chemistry? Method acting, I guess. This was one of four movies they made together in the 90s.
Shot in Montreal but set in an unnamed American city—classic 90s Canadian tax shelter cinema, where Toronto stood in for NYC and Vancouver for everywhere else.
