- Movie Goof (incorrectly regarded as a mistake): Samir states that they can avoid having their e-mails traced by logging on to each suicide bomber's account, editing the e-mails with mission instructions and then saving them as drafts, this way there would be nothing transmitted on the network. Then the bombers would login to their accounts and read the draft e-mail. Others have suggested the activity over the network to access the web mail account could be tracked. However, connections to web mail accounts are encrypted (https). In addition, tracking what someone is doing from an Internet café on the web would result in a lot of noise with very little value. More high-value information comes from tracking email, which has a sender, a recipient, and is unencrypted (and therefore would trace the network for law enforcement). Saving the mail in drafts is a very good way to significantly reduce the likelihood of the communications being intercepted in time to be of value.
- The film was shot in a mere 48 days, through 17 cities spread over 3 continents, and all for the relatively low budget of 22 million American dollars.
- Movie Goof (revealing mistake): When Samir goes to the London home shortly after the bombing in Nice, a black taxi is seen passing in the street shortly before he enters the building. Next day he hails a taxi after getting off a bus. It is the same taxi. Whilst this is possible, it is highly improbable, given the number of black taxis in London.
- Matthew McConaughey was considered for the part of FBI Agent Roy Clayton.
