Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Sylvester Stallone wrote the screenplay and originally intended to star himself before age concerns pushed him to producing.
Part of a brief 2013 wave of 'dad action' films where aging stars protected families with extreme prejudice. Liam Neeson started it, Statham cashed the check.
