- QuizChristian Bale stopped talking to Chris Rock on set. He claimed that he was very funny, which made it hard for him to act.
- BlooperMike Myers' character is captioned as being MI6. Although the British Secret Service Bureau was created in 1909, it was not known as MI6 until World War II.
- Citazioni
Burt Berendsen: Each one of us is given a tapestry, our own opera. This person and this person. Thinking about it... love is not enough. You got to fight to protect kindness. You get attached to people and things. And they might just break your heart... but that's being alive.
- Curiosità sui creditiBefore ending credits, video of US Marine Corps Major Gen. Smedley Butler, the man on whom the film based the character of Gen. Dillenbeck, is shown side by side with video of Butler's speech.

Recensione in evidenza
This movie is a bit long at over 2 hours but is written, acted, and directed in a style that is interesting all the way. There is quirkiness, sometimes it reminded me of Wes Anderson's movies, like "The Grand Budapest Hotel." The character played by Christian Bale, a disheveled doctor who lost an eye in the war, reminded us of Peter Faulk's 1970s TV series Columbo in his mannerisms and his quest to find out facts.
While this is almost entirely a fictional story it is loosely based on something that was called "The Business Plot." Roosevelt was newly elected and a group of businessmen didn't like the direction things were headed. So they hatched a plan to overthrow the President.
But very little of the running time is actually devoted to that, most of it has the three main characters, accused of murdering a woman by pushing her into the street to be run over by a delivery truck, working to prove their innocence and to focus in on the real bad actors.
My wife and I watched it at home on DVD from our public library, a totally interesting and entertaining take on the times.
