- TriviaNicole Kidman stated that she got the flu during filming, but powered through and tried to use it in her performance. For the final scene in the movie with her character's daughter, Kidman said she was so sick while filming she could "barely stand."
- GoofsTwo license plates used in this movie show up on TV shows. A car waiting at an intersection when Bell tails Petra's ride to the bank heist has the plate 2FAN321. This was also used on The Rookie S5E4 on an SUV in the background, and in S5E21 on a drive-by shooter's car when Frank is having dinner with Lucy. When Petra's ride arrives at the heist and lets her and another person out, it's in front of a car with the plate 3DHI832. This was also used on SWAT S6E6 on Saint's car.
There is no continuity between props in a movie and props in unrelated TV shows.

Featured review
Nicole Kidman is the epicenter of this bleak crime thriller in which a veteran LAPD officer confronts her long-ago past in which she was part of an undercover operation aimed at a vicious gang of bank robbers. Here, she gives one of her best performances ever.
Kidman's disheveled look in this film is meant to reflect years of anguish and burn-out, in short the psychological toll of her job. An absolutely desolute view of Los Angeles is seen through her exhausted, but still enraged eyes. Another plot layer deals with her challenging relationship with her teenage daughter who has gone astray. Those around Kidman's character rarely see things her way, but that's because she has a past of her own to resolve.
Recommended as slow-burn material that gradually earns one's respect, even though I think a better editor would have made this a tighter film.
