TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The role of Frank Perry was written specifically for Brian Cox by director Rupert Wyatt, who had worked with Cox before and wanted to work with him again. When Cox refused a supporting role in a movie Wyatt offered him and challenged him to write him a good leading role, Wyatt did exactly that.

Director Rupert Wyatt revealed on the DVD commentary that Damian Lewis wore ladies underwear throughout filming.

Popular Dialogues

"Rizza: You know the one thing you've got going for you, Frank? You're too old to die young."

"Frank Perry: I'm free now. I'm old now. Rizza: Free? You've got an imagination. Frank Perry: Imagination is what protects us. It's what keeps us alive. You're still living, but less and less. Inside, you own this place. You run things. You're the king. But look around you, what do you see? It's all pretend. It's all made up. You own nothing. Nothing except sorrows and bars and rusty metal staircases. You'll never live, because outside you don't exist. No one will remember you. No one. Rizza: You behave. Frank Perry: Behaving myself is what's kept me living."
