The FBI guy's hat?


What was up with that hat? Ruined the character for me. Did he lose a bet? Is he trying to cover up the studios catering van from being in each shot? Trying to make the movie appeal to the hardcore nursing home crowd?
What?

I didn't get it either. Maybe it was some kind of homage to the movie The French Connection?

reply

Agreed. I'd like to see what the script said...Middle aged FBI agent with a bad hat wistful of the good ole Sinatra days?

reply

Hahaha....exactly my thought when I saw him parading around in that stupid hat!!!

When they all busted into that guys apartment, forget everything, the only thing i thought was why is he wearing that hat? he looked so out of place.

~You shut the hell up, Jackie-Boy. You're dead. I'm just imagining this, so shut the hell up~

The silly hat stood out. I immediately realized that the terrible team that created this mess decided they'd need some visual way to pretend 8 years had passed. Rather than something competent or believable, they said let's use a hat. It's but one of many, many examples of how the movie was terrible.

It's the Heisenberg Effect! Maybe he's a Breaking Bad fanatic.

He was copying Gene Hackman from the French Connection playing Popey Doyle. The whole film is a waste of talent, what is up with Cage. Like Seeking Justice, this is another gloryfied TV Movie. Do the producers always pick Cage to make a little extra money?. The character of Cage asks what a GPS is but knows how to get into an FBI computor. He steals a pot of gold with just two people, but to steal 10 million dollars he needed four. If you owened a taxi firm, of course you will give a job to a untidy, dirty, oily haired guy with a metal foot a job, it happens all the time.
