The abandoned warehouse in the ending scene of the film was shot at the same location as the prison scene in Chicago in 2002.
The photo of James and his father that appeared in the opening of the film is indeed a photo of Colin Farrell and his father in his childhood.
In the film, James tells the girl in the bar that he just escaped from prison is the idea of Colin Farrell, and he did the same in the bar.
Director Roger Donaldson's mother Dorothy once played a bystander in the scene where James chases Leila.
Farrell went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to experience campus life, worked hard to learn the accent, and changed his Irish accent.
Donaldson gave a high evaluation of Pacino. When shooting the classroom scene, other actors really called it "class", because compared with Pacino, they are students.

Barely pass. The main focus of this film is the first 40 minutes of the CIA training course. The crew also invited CIA agents as consultants, involving psychological training, combat skills, equipment application, etc. It is quite cool with neat, asynchronous sound and picture editing. But unlike films such as "Kingsman", it has a more depressing tone, more classical, and is very concerned about ambush, "everything is a test", Pacino complained about the low income, "Lone Bird" will become a wall star and so on. The screenwriter is familiar with the genre. When Farrell's crappy relationship was annoying, the script reversed at the right time, but after this reversal, the plot is basically a routine of chasing genre films, and the second reversal is also lacking. The new idea, Pacino's good speech drama here has become the villain's law of death by talking too much, and it is suspected that Donaldson is deliberately trolling him. The cleverness at the end, the role of Farrell, whether he believes in his lover to break Pacino's situation, or pursues his fatherhood and realizes the success of his career, is the result of sticking to his beliefs (another foreshadowing), but his The characteristics of hackers are not very developed. Generally speaking, this old-fashioned character is too simple to write, and it is not enjoyable to watch.
