Trivia
Lead actor Cosmo Jarvis moved to the West of Ireland five weeks ahead of shooting in order to gain an understanding of the region and master the accent. He spoke only with an Irish accent for the duration of filming, even on his days off.

Goofs
Arm is sent to kill Fannigan as he walks along a clifftop path on his way home from a bar. When Arm is next seen, it is morning and the sun is just visible over the sea near the horizon. The film is set and was filmed in the West of Ireland, which means that the scene was shot at sunset not sunrise.
