Trivia
The rendezvous location where Henry and Celia have dinner is supposedly the wine-only "Vin de Vie" restaurant in Carmel when, in actuality, the glass-walled restaurant with ocean views was built on a soundstage in London using an LED backdrop. It looks remarkably like Canlis in Seattle

Goofs
Near the beginning of the film, Chris Pine's character drives to Carmel-by-the-Sea. But he's shown driving south on the Pacific Coast Highway over Bixby Creek Bridge, which would take him in the opposite direction.

Quotes
Celia Harrison: [about having children] It's not for the faint of heart.

For the connoisseurs of the genre

The movie has all the good accessories: sleek production, atmospheric mise-en-scene, glossy photography, powerful soundtrack.

But it's the excellent screenplay (from author Olen Steinhauer) and acting performances that make All The Old Knives a high quality espionage thriller, one made of the good old stuff.

For once the genre is not represented in movies by the usual kiss-kiss bang-bang, car chases, fistfights and the whole James Bond enchilada. This is espionage for connoisseurs.
