Trivia
In this movie Amanda Donohoe was faced with the added pressure of simulate sexual intercourse with another actor in front of director Nick Broomfield, with whom she was developing a romantic relationship. "I left the filming of that scene until the end of shooting," said Broomfield in reference to the controversial sex scene between Donohoe and Gabriel Byrne. "But I actually enjoyed those scenes. I made sure to create a good relaxed feeling on the set."

Alternate versions

High Stakes/Life

Even before I saw another review that was just titled Gabriel Byrne, I was also thinking "great actor" and he sort of elevates the movie overall. You may not think he does make a difference, but he really shows his quality even at times when it can't really help.

There's also one flashback that is shown quite often (including nudity and violence), which is way too much - or hammering it too hard (home). There's a theme about rich people and the way they feel society owes them and they are a bit above the law. Consciousness and some sense of morality sometimes give them a pause though ... but for how long? And also: effective enough?
