• While for dramatic effect, the script calls out the repeated use of the number "three" as an indicator of fraudulent numbers, the theory behind fraudulent number detection is known as "Benford's Law." The law states that in numbers, such as account transactions, the probability of a number occurring naturally drops, as one moves from smaller numbers to the larger numbers following a logarithmic scale. This law has been successfully used to detect fraudulent accounting transactions.

• Alison Wright, who played Justine as an adult, also provides the computer voice, with the English accent, from the computer that Justine uses. Her voice talent is not credited, even though it was more extensive than her on-screen time. Alison Wright was born in England.

• The paintings featured in the film are: "Woman with Parasol and Child" by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, 1874; "A Friend in Need" (Dogs Playing Poker) by Cassius Coolidge, 1903; and "Free Form" by Jackson Pollock, 1946.
