    Storyline

    • Trivia
      When Henry Cavill turned up on set, he had just finished shooting Immortals (2011) and came sporting an extremely muscular and ultra-ripped physique. Director Mabrouk El Mechri told him that he had to play an ordinary man and that his current body would be completely wrong for the character. Henry Cavill had to lose all the muscle tone and mass that he gained over the previous six months to get his body to look like that of an average man. He did it by eating and drinking a lot and not working out.

    • Quotes

      Lucia: He said he was a business consultant.

      Will: Business consultant. That's rich.

      Lucia: What about you? What do you do?

      Will: I used to run a small company.

      Lucia: And what did your small company do?

      Will: Business consultants.

    • Alternate versions
      The UK release was cut, this film was originally seen for advice. The distributor was advised that the film was likely to receive a 15 classification but that their preferred 12A could be obtained by making cuts in two scenes, to reduce a focus on injury in one scene and to remove a large blood spurt in another. When the film was submitted for formal classification, these changes had been made and the film was classified 12A.

    Seriously not as bad as everyone says!

    A guy goes on a vacation with his family and then his family disappears. He spends the rest of the time trying to find them and learns some difficult things about his dad. Comparisons to Bourne Identity are stupid. This is not like Bourne. This guy has no training as a covert agent. He goes through an awful lot of bad stuff trying to find his family.

    That being said, Bruce Willis is not in that much of the movie. This is a Henry Cavill movie. And he's pretty darn attractive to watch.

    There is a lot of action, lot of shooting, beating up, etc. Crooked government people.

    But overall, not a bad movie to watch!! If you wanted to see Bourne, go watch that movie!
