• Jack Nicholson and Tommy Lee Jones were considered for the role that ultimately went to Robert Duvall.
• Elizabeth Banks was one of the main contenders for the role that went to Vera Farmiga.
• Janusz Kamiński shot almost the entire film on film, rejecting digital technology in favor of a classic image full of light and warm colors.
• The film crew was unable to find a courtroom anywhere in America that could be occupied for three weeks to work on the film, so the sets had to be built on a huge empty warehouse in Norwood, Massachusetts, USA.
• This film is the first release from «Team Downey» – the production company of Robert Downey Jr. and his wife Susan Downey.
• When Hank is in the diner, before going to his mother's funeral, he has stubble above his upper lip, but a few minutes later at the cemetery, he is clean-shaven.
• The amount of ice cream in Lauren's waffle cone increases and decreases with each shot change.
• In the film, all cars from Indiana have license plates located on the front bumper. In reality, this license plate placement is not used in the state of Indiana.
• The judge tells the defendant to go to Indianapolis in early August to see the largest bull in the world. In fact, the state fair held in that city features not a bull, but the largest pig in the world.
• On the day of the protagonist's mother's funeral, as the family gathers at a diner, one of the brothers mentions they have been having breakfast at this place every Saturday for 35 years. Later, when Hank breaks into a similar diner, a sign outside the building reads "Established 1996".
