The film was shot in New York City and uses real Brooklyn streets to stage a tense, street-level survival story. The camera follows two strangers moving block by block through hostile territory, relying on narrow angles, long straight avenues, and recognizable transit infrastructure to keep the geography clear and immediate. Ordinary intersections and commercial blocks are presented as a war zone, emphasizing urgency, limited escape routes, and the feeling of being trapped in a familiar city turned dangerous.

Filming Locations:

Church Avenue and Nostrand Avenue (subway station area)

In the Movie

Scene where Lucy exits the subway directly into the chaos of the neighborhood; this is the first shocking moment when an ordinary commute turns into a violent, militarized street situation with virtually no cover.

In Reality

The scene was filmed at a major Brooklyn intersection near the Church Ave subway entrance, surrounded by typical multi-story buildings, local shops, and heavy car traffic; it is clearly a working-class area with an active transit hub.

Wyckoff Avenue (between Starr Street and Willoughby Avenue)

In the Movie

Scene where movement along this block is depicted as a risky transition zone; the characters advance while constantly watching building windows and side streets, emphasizing how every half-block can become a trap.

In Reality

The scene was filmed on a specific stretch of Wyckoff Avenue in Bushwick with continuous building facades and parked cars that create a narrow corridor effect; this allows for long takes and clearly shows the geography block by block.

Starr Street and Wyckoff Avenue

In the Movie

Scene where the characters navigate open street and intersection spaces that feel dangerous; they use doorways and building edges for cover while trying to cross blocks without being caught in a direct line of fire.

In Reality

The scene was filmed at a Bushwick corner where Starr Street meets Wyckoff Avenue; residential and small commercial facades line both sides; straight sightlines along the avenue allow tracking of movement and threats.

Willoughby Avenue and Wyckoff Avenue

In the Movie

Scene where the story uses this intersection as another critical decision point, where the choice to turn, cross, or continue straight changes the degree of vulnerability to threats; tension is maintained at the level of real street topography.

In Reality

The scene was filmed at the intersection of Willoughby Avenue and Wyckoff Avenue in Bushwick; a typical Brooklyn intersection with clear curb lines and open approaches that allow staging combat scenes with good visibility in multiple directions.
