Quote for DJ
"DJ brought many layers to the character of Sam.  His character could have
been played as simply a jerk that mistreated his girlfriend, but DJ discovered
the humane side of Sam who truely did care about my character Frankie.  We
got to do a lot of improvisation, because we had two chase scenes - one foot
and one in a car - where the lines weren't scripted.  One of the chase scenes
was the first thing we shot, and we instantly found a fun dynamic with each
other as we ran through the woods barking things at each other."
