Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The text message graphics were designed to be readable on mobile phones, since Collet-Serra knew audiences would stream this later.
This kicked off Neeson's 'middle-aged action everyman' era alongside The Commuter and Run All Night—basically 'what if your dad could kill you?'
