Production
In Blu-ray DVD commentary on the Deleted Scenes with Cassavetes and writer James Kearns, the main theme of the movie was said to be "about a miracle and John's faith in God creating the miracle". They also mentioned how SWAT team advisors for the film related a similar true incident in Toronto in which a man(Henry Masuka) took an ER hostage after it wouldn't provide immediate service to his infant son on New Year's Eve, 1999. When he exited the ER he was shot and killed and found to be carrying an unloaded pellet gun. http://www.cbc.ca/news/story/2001/04/17/inquest_masuka010417.html
