One of the subtexts Lem Dobbs was going for with the film was the working class going up against capitalism. The American Express billboard and Luis Guzman's character's Che Guevara t-shirt are instances of this that were originally in Dobbs' screenplay. "Oh, it was a political movie?" asks Steven Soderbergh. Dobbs says it was more so than it is now. Evidently Soderbergh cut a lot of this out including Wilson speaking about his "employer" in London and how Fonda's character is sort of an "employer" in America. Wilson would speak about his boss as sort of a father figure. Soderbergh felt the movie worked better leaving Wilson's London life in the dark.
