Reviews
Todd McCarthy wrote in the online version of Variety magazine on January 21, 2008 that Michael Keaton's directorial debut was "really promising" despite the lack of plausibility of the plot . Even the portrayal of Macdonald is a reason to see the film - its visual execution, including the "subtle dynamic" camera work, is another. Frank Logan's character is only sketchily drawn.
backgrounds
The film was in Chicago and Kankakee ( Illinois rotated). Its production amounted to an estimated 5 million US dollars . The world premiere took place on January 18, 2008 at the Sundance Film Festival .
