Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Demme shot this immediately after Silence of the Lambs and Philadelphia—a baffling pivot to lightweight remake territory that critics never forgave him for.
The interracial casting of Newton and Wahlberg was deliberately progressive for 2002, though the film does frustratingly little with it beyond visual novelty.
