Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in 2006 as Iraq War anxiety peaked, the film imagined a draft that never came—making it a fascinating alternate-history artifact of Bush-era dread.
Jon Bernthal's first major film role—his character 'Dixon' was originally written as older until his terrifying audition convinced them to rewrite younger.
