| 1 | * CaliforniaDoubling: The movie is set and filmed in UsefulNotes/{{Pittsburgh}}, but Pittsburgh also stands in for Virginia. A corridor in the August Wilson Center for the Preforming Arts doubles as the CIA headquarters. |
| 2 | * CreatorKiller: This was a bad stain on Creator/JohnSingleton's career, as he never directed another theatrical film again until his sudden death in 2019. |
| 3 | * DawsonCasting: Not too bad with Creator/TaylorLautner, who was playing his age at the time; but Creator/LilyCollins was 20, playing a 17 year old. Come to think of it, that may be the reason for the aborted makeout session (and eventual sex) on the train. |
| 4 | * NoStuntDouble: Creator/TaylorLautner did all of his own stunts. He learned how to fight, ride motorcycles and everything. |
| 5 | * NotScreenedForCritics: Except in Australia, [[LaserGuidedKarma where it was expectedly trashed]]. |
| 6 | * RomanceOnTheSet: Creator/TaylorLautner and Creator/LilyCollins briefly dated after filming. |
| 7 | * StarDerailingRole: Creator/TaylorLautner's chance of a career after the ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'' films (which briefly turned him into one of Hollywood's highest-paid actors) pretty much went up in smoke after this sank with critics and moviegoers. Planned starring roles in adaptations of Stretch Armstrong and the David and Goliath story got shelved indefinitely. His career since has been composed of bit parts and Direct-to-Video films. |
