Sabotage (film, 2014)

The elite task force DEA is fighting the world's deadliest drug cartels. The team specializing in complex mobile operations makes a tactical raid on the safe house of the cartel. What looks like a typical raid actually turns out to be a well-thought-out process of stealing money from an apartment that the DEA squad planned in advance. After hiding millions of stolen money, the team believes that their secret is safe, but someone begins to kill one team member ^[5] .

The film was shot in Georgia , Hartford and New York ^{[14] [15]} .

The working titles of the film were “Breacher” and “Ten” ^[16] .

Kate Mara and Isla Fisher auditioned for the role that Malin Akerman subsequently received ^[17] . But later Ackerman dropped out of the film due to pregnancy and was replaced by Mireille Inos ^[18] . One of the roles was considered by Dawn Oliveri ^[9] .

For the role in this film, Arnold Schwarzenegger spent three months improving his weapon handling skills. He was trained at the SWAT base in Los Angeles.

Initially, the film had a completely different ending in two versions with slight differences. After Caroline and John detained Lizzy, she began to confess, and John shot her before she could say more and quietly disappeared, Caroline and her colleague Jackson went to the lake to collect the money. John showed up there too, stabbed Jackson with a knife and began to fight Caroline in the water. The director of the film, David Ayer, shot two versions of this scene. Caroline escapes, and John confronts two police cars. When he tries to leave with money, he kills the police and prepares to leave in one of the cars. In the first version, Caroline appears at this moment and kills John. In the second, John shot Caroline before she could pull the trigger and drove away by car. Both versions were rejected by the producers and they forced Ayer to shoot another ending where Arnold Schwarzenegger becomes an antihero, but not a villain.

David Ayer also said that “Sabotage” was greatly reduced by the studio in order to make the film more action packed, thus changing the original idea of ​​the detective thriller. The original version of the film was rumored to last about 3 hours.
