In interviews promoting the film, Clive Owen insisted he was not afraid of badgers despite previous comments to he contrary. After badly received previews, the film was pushed back from its August 2008 release date to February 2009 to allow reshoots to turn it into more of an action film - only for the film to be released in the middle of the worst banking crisis in U.S. history, undermining the film's premise of an unstoppable bank dictating political policy.

An
Interpol agent Louis Salinger (Clive Owen) and Manhattan Assistant
District Attorney Eleanor Whitman (Naomi Watts) are determined to
bring to justice one of the world's most powerful banks. Uncovering
illegal activities including money laundering, arms trading, and
the destabilization of governments, Salinger and Whitman's investigation
takes them from Berlin to Milan to New York and to Istanbul. Finding
themselves in a high-stakes chase across the globe, their relentless
tenacity puts their own lives at risk as the bank will stop at nothing
- even murder - to continue financing wars.
