Stephen King reference?
2 May 2006
Vince Vaughn's character is named Pendleton "Penny" Wise.

A reference to Stephen King's It? Is our hero an evil, heartless predator like the others? Maybe it's a just a play on words. If so, you'd think he'd be smarter with his money. I suppose it could just be irony.

Regardless, I found the movie very predictable and am surprised at how gullible some of the characters in the film actually are. However, the ending is very realistic. Perhaps most people will frown upon the lack of closure, but it's not like other movies haven't ended this way.

Anyway, I didn't know if anyone else had notice the similarity in the character names. There was no mention of it in the trivia section for the movie.
