    • Trivia
      The film was shot in Glasgow in 1997. Numerous local stories have materialized since then, particularly that, at one point during production, Charlie Sheen demanded to visit Easterhouse, one of Glasgow's toughest areas at the time, to obtain drugs, and asked for a gun in order to protect himself.
    • Goofs
      Despite being a born-and-bred Glaswegian cop, Gwen (Ivana Milicevic) has an Irish accent.

    bit slow,bit confused but good entertaining thriller!
    Having watched numerous Charlie Sheen movies, and seen more or less the same type of performances from him in each one, I was not expecting this. Charlie Sheen manages to pull off quite a watchable performance as James Magregor, a weary but hardened cop, who goes to Glasgow for some light relief from his lifestyle...?....The film itself was quite slow, but the choice of location and the addition of a few smaller actors who are barely recognisable from other films, made the look of the film quite arthouse and cult-like compared with most of Sheen's other film work. There is a lot of use of the steady-cam, which at times becomes an annoyance,but it doesn't detract from the film The director really seems to capture the tension and fear in the film, and for a film that was shot entirely in twelve days with a mostly unknown cast, that aint bad. Overall, good thriller with some great support from the excellently cast unknowns! A must see for Sheen fans!
