    • Trivia
      Detective Loki's tattoos, Freemason ring, and facial tics were all Jake Gyllenhaal's ideas.
    • Goofs
      Loki finds a victim he believes has been injected with a drug. He looks at the vial briefly before throwing it on the ground and taking the victim away for treatment. Nobody with his training would have thrown the vial away; the label would identify the drug and strength, and give a clue as to the amount used, all helpful for successful treatment.

    Best movie of 2013!
    I just came back from the theater and to be honest I went into this movie with very low expectation! But WOW did it prove me wrong. The film left me on the edge of my seat all the time, one could argue things were slow sometimes but it only adds to the beauty of the big picture.

    Performance are top notch and if it was for me I would give Jackman his very deserved Oscar for this amazing performance, of course all the other performances were really great also but Hugh's stands out for me.

    This movie is worth your time, and I'm sure by the end of it you'll keep talking about it with your friends, for me that is a success stamp if the movie can keep my mind busy all the time.

    This is not your feel-good movie. This is a perfectly paced thriller which I haven't seen anything like it in a very long time. For me this was a totally new experience as I usually go for lighter movies in the cinema, but after this movie I will go out of my comfort-zone in movies more often to find masterpieces like this one.
