Thriller writer Curtis Hanson's first successful suspense movie. Hanson would go on to write and/or direct such thrillers as L.A. Confidential (1997), The Bedroom Window (1987) and The Hand that Rocks the Cradle (1992).
The main location for this movie, shown in the opening shot, is the Toronto Eaton Centre - a mall and office tower complex. It was opened a few months before the movie was shot. As of 2015 it was still the most-visited shopping mall in North America. The bank branch was real (but the name was fictional) and was located on the first level near a small fountain that has since been removed. The anchor department store and the complex's namesake, Eaton's, went bankrupt and closed in 1999.

"Miles Cullen: I feel as though I know you very well. Harry Reikle: Then you know I'm ready to kill you."
