• The childhood photos of James and his father in the opening credits are genuine family photographs of Colin Farrell.
• In the film, Colin Farrell wears a TAG Heuer Kirium F1 watch.
• The idea for the scene where the character played by Colin Farrell tells girls in a bar that he "just got out of prison" came from the actor himself. He said that he once used that line to pick up a girl at a bar, and it worked. The producers liked the improvisation, and the line made it into the film.
• During the filming of the scene where the characters of Colin Farrell and Al Pacino go to a restaurant, Al Pacino accidentally damaged the car they were driving in. This is clearly visible when he parks in front of the restaurant.
• The computer code shown in the film is simply a meaningless set of characters.
• The final scene of the film was shot in what was presented as an "abandoned warehouse" – the same location where Rob Marshall filmed the prison scenes for the musical "Chicago" (2002).
• Colin Farrell wears a TAG Heuer Kirium F1 watch in the film.
