* BillingDisplacement: Ali Larter - who was only on her third film - is billed sixth, despite Sara being a major protagonist. In fairness, she's billed fourth in the opening credits, only behind the headliners Rush and Janssen, and Taye Diggs. Her lower billing in the end credits is due to the shifting up of familiar names Gallagher and Kattan, who have a solid amount of screen time as well, but are specially billed in the opening credits.
