Trivia:
The Cyrillic tattoo on Vin Diesel's left hand reads "SLON" which stands for "Solovetsky Lager' Osobogo Naznacheniya" (Solovki Special Purpose Camp), one of the earliest GULAG's encampments (1923-1933). Later, this tattoo was popular among criminals, with a new interpretation: "Smert' Legavym Ot Nozha!" (Death for Cops From a Knife!). more
Goofs:
Errors in geography: The Noelite Convent appears for the first time with the location 41°10'N and 74°46'E (Mongolia). Checking Google Earth, this location matches a mountain in Kyrgyzstan, more than 1000 km far from the closest Mongolian border. more

Incredibly Disappointing Movie, 30 August 2008
4/10
Author: spiderman112004 from United States

Wow, i don't even know where to start. I'd first like to say that,im usually generous and optimistic when i see movies, and usually films my friends say suck, i say they are okay, or when my friends say they are okay, i say it was great...This one failed in 2 very important aspects of storytelling. One, they were confused as to what the climax really was and two, there's no resolution or their pathetic excuse for one was terrible. I don't know whether they are setting up for a sequel or what but the ending was laughable(literally people laughed at the ending). Its all disappointing because the movie looked liked it had potential. the acting was average, but i didn't expect much from vin diesel and Michelle Yeoh did a decent job, other then that wait to this hits USA or TBS, don't even rent it from blockbuster, its not worth it.
