==Trivia==
* Based on a 2010 short of the same name
* At one point, one the the soldiers mentions "An Occurrence in Owl Creek Bridge" to explain what is happening. This short story by Ambrose Bierce is about a civilian during the American Civil War who escapes execution by Union soldiers after trying to destroy a railroad bridge and returns home, only discover that his "escape" is an hallucination of his last moments while hanging from the neck. During the third act of the story, the protagonist experiences strange things, like constellations that aren't there or hearing whispers. Fittingly, when the platoon passes by second time through the destroyed French village, the stars in the sky are flipped, with the Orion's Constellation in an impossible angle next to a full moon. 
* There are several anachronisms and factual mistakes in the weapons, places, events and insignia during the movie. However, given the events of the film that take place during WW2 are in fact a computer simulation and the characters are in reality modern soldiers, one can assume these are deliberate or simply in character errors by the programmers. 
* This is the first film Eric Bress directed since The Butterfly Effect (2004). 
* The Americans are wearing an 82nd Airborne patch and a Big Red One patch, no unit existed that wore both. 
* Though set in France, the film was shot largely on location in Bulgaria. 
* The movie "Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy" mentioned in this film set during WWII was not made until 1955. 
* Alan Ritchson starred alongside Kyle Gallner in episodes of Smallville (2001 series) and stars alongside Brenton Thwaites in Titans (2018 series).
