Did you know
âą In Moody's room (where he received his birthday present) two paintings are visible. The one on the left is Giuseppe Arcimboldo's 'The Summer' (1563), the one on the right is Arcimboldo's 'Spring' (same year). Arcimboldo painted the portraits in what is called "double images paintings" in which a main image is created with other items, in this case, the figure of a face is built with pieces of plants, flowers, etc. It could represent double nature in both main characters: assassins and regular law-abiding citizens.
âą This film was shot in Bulgaria, Vietnam and Romania.
âą Despite Maggie Q being the protagonist, Michael Keaton is the first to appear in the credits.

Good action crime thriller...
