Trivia

• Matt's escape from the prison and meeting with the Albanians takes place in an unbroken eleven-and-a-half-minute single shot. The ambitious sequence was designed so that they could include hidden cuts to different takes if necessary, for example by having the characters pass through darkened hallways, but the production team managed to complete the sequence in a genuine single take. Showrunner Erik Oleson ended up boosting the scene's light levels in post-production to make it very clear to the audience that no cuts were made. "There is not a single hidden cut," Oleson said. "It is one 11 1/2-minute take. Charlie Cox and Chris Brewster, his stunt double, do some cowboy switches, where Charlie switches off with Chris, and you can't even see where those happened. Charlie Cox is a champion for being able to do all of the stunts, and then flip over into a dramatic scene, and then back into stunts, and do it all like a freight train and stay in the moment. It's an incredible feat."
