Production

Filming took place in Vancouver and Richmond, British Columbia as well as Toronto, Ontario.

Lester said the film "is one of my favorite movies I've made because it has a real European sensibility: really good characters and the scenes between the characters are really well developed. It's an exciting movie and there's lots of suspense."
