That's where it came from.” He further added, "But the big difference is that you don't often get the opportunity to pitch something like that to those two guys."
In the movie, Pitt and Clooney portray the roles of Fixers, who are called at the same address by Amy Ryan, to cover up the crime. Though not liking each other's techniques of handling the job, the duo is forced to work together in order to get it done.
