It's excellent working music, and it's frenetic, and s- uh, I don't know.

Scott Frank said the big challenge of this script was to write comedic lines, but to make sure that the characters are taking it seriously and not winking at the camera.
RobHOST
And the score was done through a variety of bands led by composer John Lurie, giving it the unique sound we have through the film.
RobHOST
And the film was shot entirely in Los Angeles, even the Miami and Las Vegas scenes.
RobHOST
So yeah, everything was shot in Los Angeles.
