    • Trivia
      Some of the soldiers in the movie at the roadblock scene were actual members of the Canadian Armed Forces.
    • Goofs
      When Will is on video chat with Sam and things start happening where Sam is, he asks her "What's going on?", then when he starts to say "Can you hear me?", he pushes the End Call button.
    • Quotes

      Ricki: [hearing a helicopter in the distance] It's a Blackhawk.

      Tom: You know about helicopters?

      Ricki: Not really. Just the irony. Cheyenne, Chinook, Chickasaw, Apache. I just think it's funny that the Army named its helicopters after tribes they tried to wipe out.

    Cinematic equivalent of blue balls
    This movie was great from beginning to well 5 minutes before the ending. It's almost like they said "screw it let's just end it here to piss everyone off". I'm still waiting to find out "How it ends"
