Film was filmed primarily in New York City, using real Lower East Side and SoHo streets to ground a revenge-driven crime story in recognizable, everyday urban spaces. The production leans on apartment exteriors, corners, and sidewalks to show surveillance, pursuit, and tense meetings, letting traffic, storefronts, and dense blocks add realism to the characters’ hidden lives and escalating conflict.

Locations
Running route / street “track” segment (Lower East Side)
In movie
Scene where a running sequence is staged along this stretch of Essex Street, using the long sightlines of the block for forward motion, passing backgrounds, and a grounded, everyday-city workout feel.
Real
Scene was shot on Essex St between Grand St and Hester St in Manhattan, a short corridor lined with typical Lower East Side storefronts and curbside parking; the straight street geometry makes it practical for repeated running takes.
Salon exterior area (SoHo)
In movie
Scene where a salon-related moment is supported by the streetscape around Greene and Grand, using the storefront-style frontage and sidewalk space for entry/exit beats and brief exchanges near the curb.
Real
Scene was shot at 45 Greene Street close to the Greene St & Grand St intersection in SoHo, an area known for cast-iron buildings, boutique-style ground floors, and clean façades that can double as a believable salon frontage.
Victor’s apartment exterior (Lower East Side)
In movie
Scene where Victor is connected to a home base presented as his apartment location, with the surrounding corner and street frontage used for arrivals, departures, and the feeling of being watched across neighboring buildings.
Real
Scene was shot at 383 Grand Street near the Grand St & Essex St corner in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, a mixed residential block with constant foot traffic, small businesses, and typical NYC walk-ups that read well as a guarded home base.
