A question about the story (spoiler alert)



Why, at the end of the movie when Cullen knows that he is going to turn the tables on Reikle and only hand him the bank's money and not the stolen money, does he take the stolen money from the safety deposit box and have it in his briefcase?

It's been a few years since I've seen this gem, but maybe because he figured it was the easiest time to get it out out unnoticed in all the confusion that would be going on.

That is EXACTLY why her did it at that time, One of the things that makes this a true classic even though it is not so well known. I remember that clearly when I saw the film and I'm still kicking myself for not picking this one up when I saw it at a major store chain which no longer exists. Except for one particularly gruesome murder, I love this one. (The fishtank scene.)

Yes , that was brutal. I'll never forget that scene.
