Trivia

• Guy Ritchie rewrote the script when he came on board but he also actively encouraged his cast to improvise as much as possible. Aubrey Plaza was particularly pleased with this style of direction.
• Josh Hartnett did the bulk of his own stunt driving.
• The French military idiom “ruse de guerre”, sometimes translated as “ruse of war”, literally means “war cunning” or “combat trickery”.
• Three of the key characters are only referred to by the first names, Trent, Alexander, and Arnold. This is a nod to famous footballer Trent Alexander-Arnold.
