    • Trivia
      Viggo Mortensen, on working three roles (actor, director, producer) for the film: "Fortunately, Viggo the actor was fairly well behaved. And fortunately Viggo the director was not too unkind or strict with Viggo the actor, so they got along pretty well... Viggo the producer liked the fact that Viggo the actor would be working for free and as a producer, he was also happy that the director was working for free."
    • Quotes

      Willis: Christmas is meaningless anymore. It's all jingle with no bells.

    • Crazy credits
      "The American Crow" and "The Common Raven" get shout-outs. Viggo Mortensen is a big fan of corvids, and the supporters of his favorite soccer team refer to each other as "Crows" ("Cuervos").

    Good movie with an extremely annoying character
    Henriksen is just too annoying... He's completely unlikeable and the movie gets to the point where you're just sick of watching him being a total as.... You can't even blame it on his dementia, it's the character he plays, from the very begging, just nasty, evil person. Makes you wonder, how could those grown up kids of his still call him daddy. How much empathy do they have and where is it coming from? On one hand I admire them and on the other I cannot believe how they both turned out.
