Faktische Fehler: In the beginning, three years after the opening shooting, when a group of guys are at the bar, one comments on how Dolly Parton was on Johnny Carson last night. Dolly Parton didn't appear on the Tonight Show in the 1980s until 1986.

Francis: They thought you were the smart one? I must've looked like a friggin' retard!

I want my 2 hours back

What a dud! Even the tiniest actions in this movie are telegraphed in the plot. There's no sympathy for any of the characters - they're vicious murderers who are, at times, so stupid that it's a miracle they've survived to adulthood (i.e. making your great escape leaving your wallet behind or dressing in the coat & hat of the person every thug in Hell's Kitchen is looking to kill). I wish I had those 2 hours of my life back - I'd watch grass grow or paint dry instead.
