The film was shot primarily in New York City, using real streets of the Lower East Side and SoHo to ground the crime-revenge story in recognizable everyday urban spaces. The production relies on exterior views of apartments, corners, and sidewalks to show surveillance, chases, and tense encounters, allowing traffic, storefronts, and dense blocks to add realism to the characters' hidden lives and the escalation of conflict.

Filming Locations:

Running route / street 'track' (Lower East Side)

In the movie

Scene where the running sequence unfolds along this stretch of Essex Street, using the block's long sightlines for forward motion, blurring backgrounds, and the feel of an ordinary city workout.

In reality

The scene was filmed on Essex Street between Grand Street and Hester Street in Manhattan, a short corridor with typical Lower East Side storefronts and curbside parking; the street's straight geometry makes it convenient for repeated running takes.

Exterior of Victor's apartment (Lower East Side)

In the movie

Scene where Victor connects to his home base, presented as his apartment, using the street corner and facade for arrivals, departures, and the feeling of surveillance from neighboring buildings.

In reality

The scene was filmed at 383 Grand Street near the corner of Grand Street and Essex Street on Manhattan's Lower East Side, a mixed residential block with constant pedestrian traffic, small businesses, and typical New York tenement buildings that work well as a guarded home base.

Exterior salon area (SoHo)

In the movie

Scene where a salon-related moment is supported by the streetscape around Greene and Grand, using the storefront-style facade and sidewalk space for entrances/exits and short curbside conversations.

In reality

The scene was filmed at 45 Greene Street near the intersection of Greene Street and Grand Street in SoHo, an area known for cast-iron buildings, boutique ground floors, and clean facades that can pass for a salon entrance.
