Krug: What? That's your excuse?
Justin: Sorry.
Krug: (sitting next to Justin) Justin, you gotta start putting other people's needs ahead of your own. You knew not to bring anybody back here, but you did it anyway, didn't you?
Justin: Yeah, because...
Krug: (imitating Justin) You guys weren't supposed to be here! Blah blah blah blah. But you did it. It can't be undone. Now you got to take responsibility for that action. It's as simple as that. You know how we do that?
- Over the course of a year the studio considered at least 100 directors for the film before finally settling on Dennis Iliadis after being impressed by his 2004 film Hardcore (2004).
- Actors Tony Goldwyn and Monica Potter have both starred as the main antagonists in movies based on James Patterson's Alex Cross-based crime novels (Kiss The Girls and Along Came A Spider, respectively).
- David Hess was offered a cameo but declined.
- Bruises are visible on both Paige and Mari's legs during the scenes in the hotel room. According to interviews, the bruises were a result of filming the scenes in the forest, which were filmed before the motel room scene. The makeup crew tried to cover up the bruises, but since the actors did their own stunts, the marks were too severe to be covered up by any makeup.
- Star Tony Goldwyn was at first reluctant about appearing in the film because of its violent content. Goldwyn changed his mind however after viewing director Dennis Iliadis's earlier film Hardcore (2004).
