Trivia:
Steve Martin came up with the idea for the movie while filming Bringing Down the House (2003). moreGoofs:
Factual errors: In the first prison scene, this is supposedly set in Yemen. When the inmates start saying their prayers, they do so in the direction of the sun. When in Yemen looking at the sun, you are facing south, while the prayers should be in the direction of Mekka - which is north of Yemen. moreQuotes:
Max Archer: [to Clayton] Look, you gotta be shittin' me. The US is gonna be attacked today and we just arrived at the ass end of Canada. moreFAQ

When I first saw the previews, I was expecting a bourne supremacy/bond film with whoooohoooooo action that makes you say "kill, kill, kill" and gets you all worked up. But this film is more drama/realistic and made me actually think about life instead of tuning it out. The action parts are very satisfying. Don Cheadle was great. If you are expecting something along the lines of The Marine, you will probably be disappointed. It is a little more mature than that. The movie surprised me in its creativity/originality with certain scenes. overall, it is a drama/thriller/action/spy that I found very satisfying. some people on IMDb were complaining that it was slow, which it was, but don't take that to mean that the film is bad. the movie is just more of a drama film than action at times. Go see it!!!
