Trivia:
The car Jim drives is an Oldsmobile 442. moreGoofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the car chase scene, the helicopter pilot radios that another car (the one the John Ryder is in) is approaching. He describes it as a "Late Model" Trans Am, however it is a late 70's model, not a newer one. moreSoundtrack:

I almost didn't go and see this due to my standing semi-boycott of remakes, but I was happily surprised by this film. I really wanted it to be a bloody scary mess, and I knew Sean Bean had it in him to be a great bad guy, and I thought Sophia Bush could make a great protagonist. I was glad I was right on all counts, Sean was great, he pulled of the nice stranger /psycho switch really well, and without any cheesy theatrics, and he played really well off of Sophia Bush, who was really easy to empathize with given the great job Sean was doing of being scary as hell. Over all, a fun movie experience, I'll recommend it to friends and probably pick up the DVD.
