Trivia:

The music video playing loudly on TV while Clive Owen helps his daughter study is "Trouble" by Pink.

Goofs:

Factual errors: Throughout the movie, each time the Chicago Metra train pulled into Union Station, the pa announcer kept saying that it was the end of the red line. The CTA (Chicago Transit Authority) uses color coded routes, and the Metra system uses actual named routes (Metra Milwaukee District North). Also, the view of the train entering the city shows it entering from the south, but Charles' briefcase tag says he lives in Wilmette which is north of the city.

Quotes:

Charles Schine: I got all kinds of guilt.

Movie Connections:

Referenced in The Dialogue: An Interview with Screenwriter Stuart Beattie (2006) (V)

Soundtrack:

Really Want None

Under rated

I was avoiding the film because of the lower ratings it had received but after several recommendations, I went and saw it and was surprisingly pleased with the whole film from start to finish. In my opinion, this could be very well one of the best thrillers of the year. The trailer for it really doesn't do it justice for what the movie really is; a dark, suspenseful, edge of your seat thriller. Jennifer Aniston does a great job breaking out of her Friends character that everyone associates her with and that so few sitcom actors have been able to do. Don't wait for this one to come out on DVD. You definitely want to catch this one in the theater.
