Goofs
In the final scene, as Ben exits and taxi and climbs the stairs to his son's front door, he is limping significantly on his left leg although it's his right leg that was injured.

Quotes
Benjamin Ford: Are you proud of what you did? Or maybe you don't want to forget.
Emil Kovac: Sometimes things become part of you, whether you want them to or not.

Crazy credits
Being the actual footage only 80 minutes long, the film contains a slow paced, 10 minutes end credits sequence to enlarge the overall running time of the movie.

what history? :)

Just a short comment for all the people complaining about the history facts.

There wasn't a Serbian Army? true that.. but there where: Arkanovi Tigrovi (Srpska dobrovoljacka garda), Knindze, Crvene beretke, Skorpioni, Seseljevi dobrovoljci, Dusan silni, Beli orlovi (Seseljevci, Osvetnici, Cetnici), Srpski sokolovi, Siltovi and many many more.. and they where not Japanese or chineese or Canadian people. It is to hard to understand to foreign ppl and learn all of them.. so they can say just "serbian army", even officially it wasn't their name.

Please look at the big picture and do not stick to these 2 words.

Travolta's Serbian slang is not perfect but he is acting good. I am sure Serbian actors don't speak perfect English to.

If is a movie. Not the greatest one but still a movie and no one said it is based on a true story.
