Trivia
Apparently Ray Liotta, as one of the "good guys" felt that he should dislike the actor playing a "bad guy", John Mahoney, both on and off the set; when he saw Mahoney in wardrobe or makeup, he would either rush out of the room or immediately end all attempts at conversation. At the end of the shoot, Liotta smilingly approached Mahoney and told him it was a pleasure to work with him, to which Mahoney replied, "I wish I could say the same."

Goofs
Kiefer sticks guy in neck and blood squirts on his face, he walks through door and there is no blood on face, then is going through another door and blood is back on face, next scene he is washing blood off face.

Quotes
Luther Jermoe: Now you got one chance: the gospel according to Luther. Whatever you need, you ain't gonna get and whatever you get, it ain't worth shit.

When truth is stranger than fiction . . .

the greatest casualty may be due to Red Tape. Not only does this film benefit from some true TALENT in the acting department, but Howard Deutch does a great job of portraying the sad state of Veteran's Care in the US. No, this does not appear to be "based on a true story," but it is typical of what goes on in the VA Hospitals; as a former Army Medic (now a Service Connected Disabled Vet) I know whereof I speak. I highly recommend this film!
