Trivia:
On promotional material for the film, Ben Kingsley's credit included his KCVO title. At first, the actor was singled out for some criticism as such things are usually omitted from professional credits. It transpired that this was a mistake by a studio executive, who was unfamiliar with the British honours system. more
Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Max and his son are in the car discussing their cover story, they mention that Tony Taylor was the second baseman for the Phillies. In 1979, Taylor did not play for the Phillies any longer. Manny Trillo was the everyday second baseman. more

Absolutely Amazing Film, 3 March 2006
10/10
Author: sweethoneyhan from Leicester

I really felt i needed to write this comment, because the one just before made me so angry. If the prior user had paid a little more attention to this film he would have noticed how intricate and brilliant the plot was. I don't want to give anything away of this film, but i strongly recommend this film to anyone. I would agree that you spend the first 20 minutes in confusion because of its fast paced plot, but by the end, your sympathies for individual characters are all over the place. ALl i can say is go and see it, and give it your full attention, then you wouldn't be on this website, saying "it doesn't make sense". Enjoy the film, 10/10
