In a scene at the harbor, Kate Beckinsale is required to say goodbye to Mark Wahlberg, put their kids in the car, and drive away. Only when they came to shoot the scene did the producers learn that Kate doesn't drive.
Baltasar Kormákur, director of the film, was the lead actor of the original film, Reykjavik-Rotterdam (2008), playing the same role as Mark Wahlberg.
The painting stolen appears to be "One: Number 31" by Jackson Pollock. The actual painting is in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. It has an undisclosed insurance value, though it is estimated to be in excess of $200 million.
One of two 2012 releases starring Mark Wahlberg as the hero and Giovanni Ribisi as the antagonist, the other film being Ted (2012). Both films were released by Universal Pictures.
Editor Elísabet Ronaldsdóttir also edited the original Reykjavik-Rotterdam (2008). Ólafur Darri Ólafsson had a role in both films, too.
