Trivia:
In the original script, the tourist was a Russian named Lewicki. When Forest Whitaker auditioned for a different role, Pete Travis was so impressed that he rewrote the tourist as an American and offered the role to him. moreGoofs:
Revealing mistakes: Officer Barnes is on his cell phone when he steals the blue Vauxhall Astra from one of the Spanish citizens. As he gets in the car the camera shows a clutch pedal and a gas pedal. Barnes shifts the car into first and then continues to talk on his phone. He drives for a good 40 seconds without ever shifting out of first gear. moreQuotes:

I enjoyed the movie. Dennis Quaid and Forrest Whittaker carried the movie and made it an enjoyable experience. For anyone that is easily made motion sick, the camera work is very shaky during the chase scene and had it lasted much longer would have detracted from the overall experience for me personally. The way the story was told was different but kept me engaged right to the end. I would recommend seeing this film if you get the chance.There is a little something for everyone here. Action, drama, a couple of jokes, and some nice views. There are some actors in this movie that may not be well known, but overall I think everyone in it did an adequate job. If you are a fan of Dennis Quaid you should really like this movie.
