Did you know

• Part of this movie was filmed in an abandoned prison in Gloucester, UK.

• When the movie was first announced, Josh Brolin, Luke Evans, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Olivia Munn, and David Oyelowo were cast in the lead roles.

• The tattoo on Pete's chest, seen when he enters prison, translates to "Before you fell, you crossed the ground with your hand. Was it a bullet, my boy, or was it the heart that broke?" This is an excerpt from the poem "Elegy for a Polish Boy" ("Elegia o chlopcu polskim") by Krzysztof Kamil Baczynski. The poem reflects on the tragic fate of a young boy who fought for his homeland during World War II. The uncertainty of whether it was a bullet or a broken heart adds to the emotional weight of the verse. Polish people tend to embrace the tragic history of their country.
