Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Russo brothers shot this in their hometown of Cleveland, using actual locations from the real Cherry's life — including banks he robbed.
That iPhone bank robbery sequence? Based on real military technology — the filmmakers consulted actual veterans who used similar tactics in Iraq. The chaos is authentic.
