• Prior to filming, Ben Mendelsohn and Luke Ford made a conscious decision not to speak to each other as actors to help with their portrayal of two antagonistic brothers.
• Joel Edgerton won an AFI award (the Australian equivalent of the Oscars) for his role as a character that dies only 23-minutes into the film.
• The film is loosely based on the Melbourne crime scene in the 1980s, and the Pettingills crime family. Also, the random revenge murder of two patrolmen recreates the 1988 Walsh Street police shootings.
