Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Director Timothy Woodward Jr. specializes in low-budget action films starring aging '80s and '90s action stars, essentially running a retirement home for genre actors.

Cultural

The 'robotic virus' concept awkwardly grafts post-9/11 drone warfare anxiety onto a standard revenge thriller, creating a Frankenstein's monster of outdated techno-fear.
