- Enforced Method Acting: Denzel Washington was actually waterboarded during the filming of some of the torture scene, though only for a few seconds per take.
- Follow the Leader: Stylistically and narratively, this film is very similar to The Bourne Series.
- Similarly Named Works: Besides the ITV series, it also shares its name (and a few plot points) with a 1998 made-for-TV movie starring Patrick Stewart.
- What Could Have Been:
- The movie was originally set in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, but the production decided not to shoot there, due to security concerns.
- Zac Efron, Andrew Garfield, Jake Gyllenhaal, Tom Hardy, Chris Hemsworth, Garrett Hedlund, Taylor Kitsch, Shia LaBeouf, James McAvoy, Chris Pine, Channing Tatum and Sam Worthington were among those considered for the role of Matt Weston.
