Trivia:

Ben Affleck and Aaron Eckhart were considered for the role of Catch.

Goofs:

Errors in geography: When Sharon walks up to the parents' house and meets Kathy, a speed limit sign in the background says "Maximum 40". That would mean 40 kph in a residential area in Canada. In a residential area of Chicago, the sign would read: "Speed Limit 25" for 25 mph.

Quotes:

Catch: This is what you told me about, right?
Sharon Pogue: What?
Catch: Well, you know, your interrogation, so do I need a lawyer?

Let Me

Confession that I'm not that much of a psycho after all.

This was a truly touching film, and an excellent performance by both Caviezel and Lopez. My view of Lopez has gone up a lot since seeing this film. It made me cry, which is a rare occurrence when I watch movies. The scene with Catch at his family's grave was just beautiful, the words were right from the heart straight to mine. Caviezel should do more films like this.
