Trivia:

The film was intended to be released in November 1999 or May 2000 by Universal Pictures and producer Brian Grazer, then it was delayed for several more years in the US. Universal tired of the film, sold its distribution rights to DEJ in the USA and finally was released theatrically three years after its completion.

Goofs:

Continuity: When Malloy is kissing his girlfriend after bringing her the toy monkey, his nose is on the right side of her nose. The POV changes and his nose is now on the other side.

Quotes:

[first lines]
911 operator: 911, what is your emergency?
disguised voice: I'm tired of the way things are, as opposed to the way they should be.
911 operator: Is this an emergency? Where are you located?
disguised voice: That really doesn't matter, so hear me out.
911 operator: Can we have your name please?
disguised voice: Of course, "Common Denominator", your man in the street. Now don't ask a another question or I will be obliged to do bad. Doing bad, you would have to assume responsibility. No interruptions. That's natural selection. Born to win, born to lose, born to die...

Stallone is good in this...

We all remember him as ''ROCKY'' or ''RAMBO'' it's unfortunately sad that the critics won't agree when sly does anything outside the ''ACTION'' genre....anyway the movie is the kind that you would watch with you're girlfriend or a loved someone on a rainy night...

Troubled ''ex'' cops are in a D-TOX center ..something goes wrong when they start winding up dead...its up too stallone to catch the killer..

Sylvester stallone is good as the main character, Robert patrick ( the guy in the terminator and the x files series ) is really good and gives a 10-10 In his performance in this movie..without giving away anything else..., its a good movie. and stallone just like in the last decade is very very underrated, he CAN act!
