The "bump key" technique used by Russell Crowe's character does actually work as portrayed on older and cheaper (non-antibump) cylinder locks. However, the car lock tennis ball technique has been busted as a myth on MythBusters: Viewers' Special (2007)
Paul Haggis selected Pittsburgh as the main location as he wanted one that was relatively close to the Canadian border, figuring that would be a logical destination for someone breaking their wife out of prison. He also wanted the location to be one less cinematically familiar than New York City or Chicago.
Russell Crowe was Paul Haggis' first choice for the lead. At the time, Crowe was working on Robin Hood (2010), and was tired of the film's lengthy production, so wasn't initially keen about jumping into another film. The script convinced him otherwise.
Elizabeth Banks met with prisoners and guards to get a better impression of what life in jail might be like. She was incarcerated in a cell for as long as she could tolerate - which amounted to about five minutes.
The movie is a remake of the French movie Anything for Her (2008).
"John Brennan: So, the life and times of Don Quixote, what is it about? Female College Student: That someone's belief in virtue is more important than virtue itself? John Brennan: Yes... that's in the there. But what is it about? Could it be how rational thought destroys your soul? Could it be about the triumph of irrationality and the power that is in that? You know, we spend a lot of time trying to organize the world. We build clocks and calendars and we try to predict the weather. But what part of our life is truly under our control? What if we choose to exist purely in a reality of our own making? Does that render us insane? And if it does, isn't that better than a life of despair?"
"Damon Pennington: But before you do anything, you have to ask yourself if you can do it. Can you forget about ever seeing your parents again? Can you kill a guard? Leave your kid at a gas station? Push some nice old lady to the ground just because she gets between you and the door? Because to do this thing, that's who you have to become. And if you can't, don't start, 'cause you'll just get someone killed. John Brennan: How did you get caught? Damon Pennington: I gave myself up. I couldn't take wondering when someone was gonna come through the bedroom door."
