Trivia:
Many of the film's prison scenes were filmed at the old Hamilton County Jail in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Jail, also known as the "Cincinnati Workhouse", had been permanently closed prior to the location filming of the movie. It had been built during the Civil War to house enemy troops and was still in use by Hamilton county and Cincinnati area police agencies as a jail as late as the 1970s. It was closed due to being "inhumane, cruel and unusual" by modern jail standards.

Continuity: At the end of the movie, when Parnell and Scalise are driving through the parking lot, looking for the drug pickup spot, the front license plate on their T-Bird changes. Initially it has a 2FVDxxx then changes to a 2GRYxxx.

I caught this movie one night on TV, unplanned, but stayed with it to find out how this guy gets out of the trap that others dishonestly put him in -- see how the evidence played out. I was hooked on a "memorable quote" in the movie during the prison stay where Tom Selleck's inmate friend told him during mealtime that "you don't have to speak up in here, but you have to stand up!" Gave me a personal motto that stayed with me.
I liked the story. It kept me watching; and I appreciated that Tom's wife stayed with him and believed in him and that the detective who helped him pursue the bad guys believed in him.
