Trivia
The film is inspired by Unbreakable (2000) and Finding Forrester (2000).

Goofs
The city was just blacked out, but at the end scene, where Samaritan walks away under the bridge, the lights are on. Also you can see lights far ahead.

The "EMP Grenades" didn't have enough power for long (time) and far (distance).

Quotes
Joe: I'm a troglodyte. Do you know what that is?
Sam Cleary: No clue.
Joe: It's Greek for a man who dwells in a cave. See, I'm a caveman. I live in a tiny apartment, and it's fine. I'm good with it. I like being alone. You know what bothers me? What really depresses me? Being around other people.

Really like Stalone. But who writes this crap

Stalone was great, always is. The kid, Javon 'Wanna' Walton, did a great job acting, but his caracter is so obnoxious and self centered. Steals from his worshipped hero. Who wrote this? Are all the script writer's kid like this or something. Don't they have any good examples of kids? I got tired of him after 20 minutes. Is this the only example that they could come up with? This script has been played thousands of times, exactly like this. Zero innovation. Get new script writers Mr. Stalone, please.

About the bad guys, so unrealistic. Same old bad guys. Walks into a police station, tells them what he's going to do, walks into the evidence room, after blowing up the front, gets what he wants, no problem.

As always, all of Mr. Stalone's movies have potential. Most of them are great, some are good, and a few are, watchable during a five day snow blizzard. This one, watchable while making popcorn for the next movie.

Thank you for your time.
