Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAt one point, Detroit wears a pair of earrings with the phrases BURY THE RAG and DEEP IN YOUR FACE. These are lyrics from "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" by Bob Dylan, which is a protest song about a poor African-American woman murdered by a wealthy white man. ("Bury the rag deep in your face/ Now's the time for your tears".)
- GoofsWhen Detroit is caught while vandalizing an advertisement for WorryFree, the letters she spray paints on the wall change from "S" to "SL" and back to "S" between shots.
- Quotes
Sergio: Hey, Cash. How much longer I gotta wait for my money?
Cassius Green: God made this land for all of us. Greedy people like you want to hog it to yourself, and your family.
Sergio: Me and my family?
Cassius Green: Yeah.
Sergio: Cassius, I'm your fuckin' uncle.
- Crazy creditsThere's a mid-credits scene.
He discovers that senior management are exploiting its employees to generate more profit (you'll see how towards the end). The humour at the beginning turns into dark social commentary with lots of symbolism.
I'm always apprehensive when a poster says 'the best film of the year by far' Well ... it's not the 'best', but very good and definitely different.
