00:09We shot the film down in Charlotte, North Carolina.
00:12I believe in immersion of the actors as if they were in the real world.
00:16And so I cast so many of the real people from the real story.
00:20I was the original driver that Jeffrey Manchester escaped up from.
00:24He studied the truck coming in every day.
00:26We just walked right up in there and got up out of the truck.

01:09It's really easy to evade the police when they don't know who you are.
01:13But once they identify you, the clock's ticking.
