Curiosidades

The film's script is nearly dialogue-free and only 32 pages long.

For Redford (at age 77) the most grueling aspect of the shoot was not the stunts, most of which he insisted on performing himself, but the dismal daily routine of being perpetually waterlogged throughout the production.

Robert Redford was very frustrated that the studio did not promote the film for awards, both for J.C. Chandor in writing and directing and himself for acting (a feeling echoed by numerous film critics who liked the film and were surprised it was given a small release with little publicity) and has cited this experience as a reason he has moved towards taking fewer acting jobs and preparing strongly for retirement from acting altogether.

During the filming Robert Redford was so repeatedly soaked by a huge water hose, he suffered an infection in his left ear that ultimately cost him 60% of his hearing.

The Chinese characters shown on the container (which is supposed to be the name of the shipping company) in the beginning actually mean "good fortune".
