Did you know
- TriviaMost of the scenes between Denzel Washington and Christopher Walken were completely improvised.

- Crazy creditsSpecial thanks to Mexico City. A very special place.
- Alternate versionsEuropean (PAL) version of the DVD lack the stylized subtitles found through the movie, except for a few in the beginning. Those subtitles are found in the form of regular DVD subtitles.

Featured review
Oh that camera work just butchered this movie
Straight to main points on what I think was wrong with this movie: the absolute fail is the edit, with it's method of semi photo semi video with random flashes on the screen with double vision effects... Typical mid 2000's thing that messed up couple of other movies. But you would think a good film maker would recognize the fact that it's annoying and unprofessional.
On top of that couple of highly illogical plot turns and some cliche lines really setting this movie back. With very overused soundtrack that played every 10 minutes of the movie.
All that being said, this does have some good acting and action, overall keeps you on the edge of your seat. Strong 6 stars, just again, this damn camera work is absolute annoying trash !
