Trivia:
There were talks between the studio and the Salamanca Film Commision to shoot the entire film in the Spanish city, but it was considered inviable after the local authorities refused to close the Plaza Mayor during nearly 3 months. As a result, the production was moved to the Mexican cities of Cuernavaca and Puebla. Only the scenes filmed from the air were shot in the real Salamanca. moreGoofs:
Plot holes: A bomb is set off in the lobby of a hotel, causing the fire alarms to go off, but the elevators still run. In most buildings when the fire alarm is triggered the elevators would stop, rendering them unusable. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Mark Reinhart: Good morning, America. It's now 12 noon in Salamanca, Spain. In a short time, world leaders from over 150 countries meet here in Plaza Mayor to sign up to President Ashton's bold new counterterrorist strategy. Since 9/11, more than 4500 people have been killed in the rising tide of global terror...

I enjoyed the movie. Dennis Quaid and Forrest Whittaker carried the movie and made it an enjoyable experience. For anyone that is easily made motion sick, the camera work is very shaky during the chase scene and had it lasted much longer would have detracted from the overall experience for me personally. The way the story was told was different but kept me engaged right to the end. I would recommend seeing this film if you get the chance.There is a little something for everyone here. Action, drama, a couple of jokes, and some nice views. There are some actors in this movie that may not be well known, but overall I think everyone in it did an adequate job. If you are a fan of Dennis Quaid you should really like this movie.
