- TriviaFrom September 19 to October 4, 2022, filming took over the picturesque seaside town of Piran, Slovenia. Contracts with the town for lodging, blocked streets, and set-up for a cast and crew of 300 members were kept secret until a few days prior to arrival.
- GoofsMike (Mark Wahlberg) calls back to New Jersey a couple times in the film. The time of day or night is always the same as it is in London, despite London being 5 hours ahead of New Jersey. When he phones his mother, a few hours have passed since breakfast, so it could easily be early morning and daylight in New Jersey. When he calls the guys at the stag night, it is the middle of the night in London, so the stag night could easily be well under way in New Jersey. Moreover, the scene in the bar in New Jersey is completely indoors and the outside is not visible. It could easily be daylight there.

Featured review
It has become painfully clear that Hollywood is short on good writing. This movie has a ton of story to work with but instead flushes it down the toilet. To be clear it is a stylish action flick, it looks really pretty and the action scenes are fun to watch. The problem however is that the flick has employed an impressive number of A-list actors and gave them poop scripts. The only person that had any decent lines was J. K. Simmons, all the rest of the cast was wasted on a doo-doo script. It wouldn't be out of place to say this has been done before, and a lot better than this. After the plot was explained it was painfully obvious they just copy and pasted bits and pieces from other espionage movies to get this stylish looking thing on screens. It's too bad really, the story could have been worked into something much better than what the end result was. This is a watch and make fun of it while it plays movie, that could have been so much more.
