Did you know

• Based on a novel 'Bad day in Blackrock' which was itself at least partially inspired by real live events, concerning what became known as the Anabel's night club murder in Dublin in 2000.

• Richard's big breakdown scene was shot in three takes. Jack Reynor was so drained afterwards that he was physically unable to do any more.

• In the first iteration of the screenplay, there was no character of Jake. The production team loved Patrick Gibson's audition so much that the part was created for him.
