Trivia
After trailers for the film were released, a social uproar occurred in Cambodia over the use of upside down Khmer lettering on the police shields. The Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts has since prohibited the film from being shown in Cambodia. Sin Chanchaya, director of the Department of Film, said that the decision to ban the film had come solely based on the trailer. Chanchaya said that the Ministry had approached the film producers to edit the lettering out of the film, but they had not replied by the time of the decision.

Goofs
The scene after the tank shoots the building, the person on the microphone is clearly speaking Khmer (Cambodian), not Thai. He says, "You cannot run, we will shoot to kill". Some scenes have the people speaking Thai.

An Easy 8

I don't know how anyone could watch this film and not be on the edge of their seat from start to finish.

If there is any downside to this film - it is that it is so intense - that it makes you deliberate rewatching it, BECAUSE you know what you went through the first time. Lol Owen Wilson knocks it out of the park, and should be on lists for future dramatic roles.

If you want a gem to watch with company, that they've probably never heard of, this is it.

Don't tell them you've seen it before - or they will drive you crazy with questions, as the angst builds and builds.

It even serves as a 'teaching tool' if you have children you're worried about getting you caught in a life or death scenario.

The younger the better. I don't care if it gives them nightmares.

Those nightmares might save your life one day.
