- TriviaDenzel Washington's daughter Olivia Washington plays a role in the movie, her first appearance in a film starring her father, but the pair only have a brief onscreen exchange at the start of the film in a police station.
- GoofsWhen checking the mileage on the suspect's 1970 Chevrolet Nova, it showed a 6-digit odometer to better explain the high mileage theory. However, all Novas made between 1969-1974 with the 120 mph dash board had 5-digit odometers. This fact was checked with GM.

This is trying to be Se7en and True Detective and other high concept crime mystery with a twist. It's interesting in some aspects but falters in others. First and foremost, this is not a whodunnit. The movie piles on all the suspicion on Sparma with only a small wink at the fingerprint guy. Quite frankly, it's either Sparma or not Sparma. Anyone else would be meaningless anyways. There is some hope of turning this into a character study of these three people. That's a 50/50 proposition in this case. Denzel can sleepwalk through this role and I'm not saying that he is. I'm also not saying that he isn't. With Rami and Jared, the film has two of the most outlier actors around. It may be one too many. They are pushing very hard and at times, they push the movie over the edge. Finally, I have issues with the final confrontation. There are problems with it and I don't like it. Nevertheless, I still like the three actors and it's always interesting to see them go to work.
