    • Trivia
      Nicole Kidman stated that she got the flu during filming, but powered through and tried to use it in her performance. For the final scene in the movie with her character's daughter, Kidman said she was so sick while filming she could "barely stand."
    • Goofs
      When Bell changes the magazine of her HK MP5 during the firefight in the bank, the sub-machine gun's safety is set to S (Sicher = Safe). During magazine changes (especially under fire) you leave it at the setting that you had: E (Einzelfeuer = Single Shot) or F (Feuerstoss = Full Automatic).
    • Quotes

      Erin Bell: Nice ass.

      Chris: It's all yours.

    But then...I love a slow-paced, character-driven movie
    Came to give this film a good rating and was surprised to see so many negative reviews. Yes, the movie is long and slow-paced but then so are some of the greatest movies ever made. The cinematography is gorgeous and Nicole Kidman's performance is fantastic: as utterly convincing as the grim wrecked Erin Bell as she is the younger, sharper and more selfish version of herself in love with her partner Sebastian Stan.

    Modern day Erin has failed as a mother, as a cop, essentially at life, has abused her body to the point of collapse, but somehow she still smolders with some kind of internal energy - maybe it's her sixteen year old thirst for revenge? Either way, Kidman is a wonder to watch as she strides into every scene like some kind of vengeful limping grim reaper, pistol whipping anyone who stands in her way.

    I was really surprised to read so many people say the ending was somehow disappointing or anti-climactic, because - for me - it was a fantastic twist, that didn't really need the couple of flashbacks that made sense of it. I thought this was a great movie, absorbing and gritty and deeply sad.
