Trivia
From September 19 to October 4, 2022, filming took over the picturesque seaside town of Piran, Slovenia. Contracts with the town for lodging, blocked streets, and set-up for a cast and crew of 300 members were kept secret until a few days prior to arrival.

Goofs
On his first mission Mike is given a pistol and clearly told he has, including the spare magazine, 30 shots in all, yet after firing just 4 shots his pistol is now empty and he discards it.

Quotes
Roxanne Hall: Old fashioned. Well, let me pull out my appropriate racism chart and let's see where old fashioned falls between small town housewife and grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan!

Crazy credits
During the first part of the end credits, some old photos of both Mark Wahlberg and Halle Berry are shown.

Undemanding, instantly forgettable

Picturesque locations, good production values, some good actors and Mark Wahlberg, but nothing memorable. Perfect moving wallpaper to glance at occasionally while scrolling on your phone. Essentially it's a string of comfortable cliches strung together in a predictable sequence, designed to make you forget to cancel your Netflix subscription. Halle Berry looks better than ever, JK Simmons doesn't break a sweat using one of his 'grizzled' character templates.

The UK setting is puzzling because apart from the scenery it's almost wall-to-wall Americans doing American things in American ways. The Slovenian locations look beautiful but, again, they have no impact on the plot, which could easily have been generated by ChatGPT with a very short prompt.
