    • Trivia
      The cast considered this movie to be an unofficial sequel to Grosse Pointe Blank (1997). Five actors appeared in both films: John Cusack, Joan Cusack, Bill Cusack, Dan Aykroyd, and Doug Dearth.
    • Goofs
      When Brand and Natalie go to the coffee shop, on the floor you can see the blue-tape 'T' marker that shows the waitress where she needs to stand for this shot.
    • Quotes

      Brand Hauser: Be still my trembling hands, for how you would tremble if you knew where I would take you next.

    • Crazy credits
      BeTolerant.com is listed twice in the thanks section of the credits, despite this resulting in an odd number of entries and causing the last entry to have to go against the rest of the layout (centered, vs two-column) to keep things even.

    Critics might be off the mark on this one...
    I thought this movie was a lot better than most movie critics are giving it credit for. Though it has its confusing parts of the plot, it doesn't greatly interfere with your understanding of the movie. That being said, If you're not open to more liberal political ideas, then this probably isn't the movie for you. I thought all the actors in the movie were outstanding. Each character has their funny moments and the audience at the Tribeca Film Festival was laughing throughout the whole thing. I thought the satire was a tad over the top in one particular area, but that's intentionally done. John Cusack is right in that although it's set in the future, it really makes you see the present.
