Troy Duffy, who was working as a bartender and bouncer, had never written a screenplay before. Talk about beginner’s luck. The screenplay was inspired by his disgust at seeing a drug dealer taking money from a corpse across the hall from his apartment.
The next movie involves a major casino heist. Can you guess which one?
