The IMDb
- O'Connor began writing the script in 1999 with his brother Greg O'Connor after completing Tumbleweeds. The O'Connor brothers wrote a story that was personal to both.
- O'Connor described their intention: "My father was a New York City detective, and I grew up in that world. It's a celebration of honest cops, which was everything my father was about. Though it is fictional, it is an homage to my father."
- Actor Nick Nolte was originally cast to portray the father in a family of cops, but due to a chronic knee injury becoming too severe, he was replaced by Jon Voight in the role.
