- As the movie opens, we're inside a county jail, with cell block doors sliding open…wait a second. Did we pop in The Shawshank Redemption by mistake? The Green Mile? No? Okay, just checking.
- There's an apparent suicide in one of the cells, and a lone guard (because it's always a good idea to fly solo when checking on dangerous criminals with nothing to lose) is taken in by the ruse.
- The criminal—one Jake Fratelli—takes advantage of the opportunity to knock the guard out cold, and escape.
