Trivia
The online news article about the Mexican drug cartel that Charlize Theron reads is authored by Greg Hooper and William Kent, who are really the movie's Art Director and Visual Effects Supervisor, respectively.
Quotes
Spc. Gordon Bonner:
What are you doing? Get back in the fucking vehicle man! Mike, get back in the fucking vehicle. Let's go, Mike, now!
Goofs
Evie (aka "Madame") identifies Penning in the photo with Mike with the photo in the middle of a pile and under some other photos. In a the longer shot, she is seen to have her finger on a photo which is on top of all the others and which actually has three soldiers in the photo.
Crazy Credits
Jason Patric does not appear at all in the end credits. Since he plays a pivotal role in the film and is seen in many of the scenes, it seems odd that he is uncredited for this role in this film.
