clarity.
Q: Did you agree to this film without reading
the script?
Del Toro: "For me it was, Don Cheadle in the
film, Steven Soderbergh ... I said yes before I
read the script. I assumed that Don reads the
script for me and then I go."
Hamm: "We shot this movie in deep pandemic in
October, November in Detroit ... you couldn't be
in better hands than to be in Steven's (Soderbergh)
hands ... he works tirelessly, he is editing
while he's shooting. He's got everything in his
head ... That feels very good. In a mode where
we were very much uncertain about everything,
this felt very certain."

Shaw: "The crew was pretty
pared down because of COVID, which also led to
probably more intimacy because there weren't
like a lot of people around."
Q: Did you figure out the twist in the film when
you first read the script?
Liotta: "What you think might be happening
doesn't exactly happen, it goes off into a
different direction, so you never really know
what's going on ... who knows who."
Q: Can you describe the film in one word?
Fraser: "Everyone wants something desperately in
this film and everyone gets what they deserve."
Hamm: "Suspense ... it's a very complicated
story and it pays off."
Cheadle: "Entertaining."
Del Toro: "Fun."
Fox: "I would say greed."
