Trivia
The original Director's Cut focused on the Annalynne McCord character based on the original script rather than the added role of the Russian mistress played by Kamalya Zahoor. Unbeknownst to the director or the rest of the cast, producer Jeff Most had guaranteed Zahoor's wife a major supporting role, produced and directed a separate music video with her singing in the club, and even shot scenes that were never scripted under the title "Scene X" during principal photography, which they later edited into the final cut.

Goofs
When Callahan orders a bourbon neat, the bartender pours him a shot of Johnny Walker Black Label, which is scotch not bourbon. This happens twice in the movie.

Standing up

It's always nice and refreshing to watch Stephen Dorff. He's one of the better actors, but does not have a really big blockbuster under his belt (Blade maybe, but that was a Wesley Snipes vehicle). This movie is also just a B-movie. But that doesn't mean it's bad! Quite the contrary, the story was so appealing, that quite a few good actors did sign up to make the movie.

Of course quite a few things are convenient and wouldn't stand the scrutiny of the viewer thinking too much about them. There is a morality issue at hand, but there is also or at least could be an issue with the ending. The actors involved have the charisma to just pull it off, but it still may feel cheap to some.
