• SPOILER: The F-word is used a total of 71 times throughout the movie - 39 of them in the store robbery scene alone.
• Movie Goof (factual errors): In Gavin's interview scene, the immigration officer relies on the Rabbi's opinion. The garb and the accent of the Rabbi suggest he is a European Orthodox (probably Lubavich), yet in the end he gives Gavin a card, saying he should come to Temple Bet Sholom. "Temple Bet Sholom" is typically a name for splinter Reform congregations, whose rabbis are mostly American- or Canadian-born (therefore no accent), and wear contemporary clothes.
• When the immigration officers are interrogating Claire Shepard (Alice Eve), there is a brief mention to IMDb. In order to get an American green-card, Australian Claire affirms she's a famous TV star in her origin country; therefore, she could get a visa for outstanding accomplishment and become an American citizen. However, the agents later tell her they've searched her career profile and, "according to The Internet Movie Database, the only Claire Shepard that matches her spelling, age and place of birth has two credits on little known Aussie TV shows."
• SPOILER: Sean Penn reportedly demanded that his small supporting role be cut from the picture after complaints about the 'honor killing' subplot from Iranian-American groups. Although Penn subsequently claimed the decision was a creative one "of which he was aware," Harvey Weinstein claimed that Penn demanded the part be cut through his agent.
