Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Thiry was 68 during filming and performed his own physical scenes, including a brutal ditch sequence that left him genuinely hypothermic.
The film deliberately mirrors real Dutch cases where retired officers criticized police inaction on missing persons, making it quietly political.
