Cast

Trivia

  • The "abandoned warehouse" where the final sequence in the film takes place is the same set where Chicago (2002)'s prison scenes were filmed.
  • There are numerous references to Kurt Vonnegut Jr., including the computer virus being named Ice-9 (from "Cat's Cradle"), Clayton reading "Slaughterhouse Five" at the coffee shop, and Clayton referring to his father's eggs as the "Breakfast of Champions".
  • When shown in theatres, the movie was in an aspect ratio of 2.35:1. When it was released on DVD in May of 2003, it was presented in a ratio of 1.78:1, preserving Roger Donaldson's vision.
  • The pictures that are shown during the opening credits, of James and his father, are actual childhood photos of Colin Farrell and his father.
  • The scene where Colin Farrell's character tells the girl at the bar how he "just got out of jail" was Farrell's idea. He supposedly said he used it on a girl in a bar one time and that it worked, so the producers put the scene in the film.
  • Layla uses a Dell 16MB USB Key to sneak the ICE9 virus code out of CIA Headquarters in Langley.
