Did You Know?

Edit
Trivia Director Wayne Kramer's original cut was 140 minutes long, but despite having the right to final cut, this film's producer agreed to be involved in editing the film down to two hours when Harvey Weinstein allegedly threatened to release the film straight to DVD, and bypass theatrical altogether (Kramer had nothing to do with the re-editing).

Goofs Near the beginning of the movie, there is a scene where Harrison Ford's character is booking a prisoner into a detention center for illegal immigrants. In this scene, the booking officer is incorrectly wearing the uniform of a CBP Enforcement Officer instead of an ICE Immigration Enforcement Agent. See more »

Quotes Special Agent Howell: You see what's interesting, Miss Shepard, is we ran a check on your name. A Claire Shepard arrived on a B-2 visitors visa seven months ago, and then, just two days ago, she has her status adjusted to an EB-1 green card for persons of extraordinary ability. According to The Internet Movie Database, the only Claire Shepard that matches your spelling, age and place of birth has two credits on little known Aussie TV shows. Walk on roles. She hasn't won any national or international awards
Special Agent Ludwig: Which is something the adjudicator who handled your case would have to have been aware of, and yet he approved you for an EB-1. Miss Shepard, we'd like you to tell us about your relationship with center adjudications officer Cole Frankel?
