Trivia
The paintings of Robert De Niro, Sr. (Robert De Niro's father) are shown at the end of the film, as Dragna walks around and explains his plan to Rivka.

Goofs
A million dollars in cash weighs 20 pounds, gold even more. Five million dollars would not be easy to carry.

Quotes
Dragna: Can I give you a little bit of advice, Jack? If you took one-tenth of the time you spend on killing people and devoted it to reading a book now and then, I really think you would derive great benefit. Don't you?

Motel Room 13

That is the "german" title of the movie, which sees Cusack as a lovable bad guy. And while he is doing some despicable things, he also acts in a way that makes the audience care for him. Just the fact that it is Cusack playing that guy/character gives him some points in that direction. Only Paul Rudd might have had a more positive resonance from the audience (and it would have been fun to see him in a role like this).

The twists and turns of the movie are more or less predictable, but the movie is really nicely done. There is also a scene (a "clash" of some sorts, that you know is coming), with some really intense and good dialog (especially De Niros delivery). The rest is OK, with a leading lady that would bewitch almost any (straight) male.
