Two of the three county commissioners who approved to help make this film were prison for taxpayer fraud, however there was no wrongdoing alleged in connection with their support of the film.
In the scene where 'IVAN' and his partner, the 'Chinese Officer,' eat Black Angus burgers in a diner, the waitress -- a real server who was working her shift the night the film shot in there (it never closed) -- that brings them more food/coffee just happened to walk into the shot. It was not choreographed; she was just doing her job.
Filmed in Scranton Pennsylvania.
