    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Steven Spielberg: A guest at David's birthday party (wearing a Pre-Crime cap from Minority Report (2002)). Spielberg and Tom Cruise were preparing to begin filming "Minority Report" at that time. In a returned favor, Cameron Crowe cameos in that film.
    • Goofs
      When David and Brian are in the car in the beginning you can clearly see that they are about one or two feet higher compared to the other cars, even though they are in the relatively low Mustang, revealing that the car is probably on a trailer rather than on the road.
    • Quotes
      • Sofía: Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around.
    • Crazy credits
      The end credits are done to a background of a skyscape changing the various colors of the day.
    • Alternate versions
      The 2015 Blu-Ray release includes an alternate ending version with a vastly expanded ending. While the events lead to the same conclusion, there are alternate takes and additional scenes (including the scene of David shooting the police officer).
