Trivia
In the audio commentary, co-writer and director Derek Cianfrance says that his financier would give him the budget he wanted if he shrank the 158-page script to 120 pages. Without removing anything, he used a smaller font and extended the margins. He says no one noticed.

Goofs
Jason steals "oxys" - Oxycontin or Oxycodone - from the pharmacy shelf. Both these drugs are "CII" (Schedule II) controlled substances, the most restrictive classification for legal drugs. Federal law mandates that they be kept under lock and key to prevent easy access by thieves. They would not be kept on the shelf.

Quotes
Robin: If you ride like lightning, you're going to crash like thunder.

Alternate versions
Although US distributor Focus Features has never released a longer version of its films and considers the theatrical version the director's cut, in April 2013, director Derek Cianfrance stated that he 'looked forward to putting many deleted scenes onto the upcoming DVD/BD releases that could add up to a total runtime of approx. 20 minutes. As of October 2023, however, this extended cut has yet to materialize.

An intriguing and diverse journey

In an attempt to give away as little as possible about this film, obviously so that you can enjoy all of the phases as I was able to do, I would like to simply highlight my opinion about this movie. It was a great film and was very entertaining. I'd recommend you take a chance and go see this film. Expect some theatrical diversity and in the end it all comes back full circle.

I have nothing negative to say. The acting was mature and accurate. Each character was playing a role that suited their own set of talents superbly.

Try not to read too many reviews and just go and see this movie. You will not be disappointed.
