And the final sequence, in which Devoe and Kelly must defuse the nuclear warhead in a cathedral, is supposedly set in Manhattan but was actually
shot in the
breathtaking St. Martin's Cathedral, hard on the banks of the Danube in Bratislava (the exterior can be glimpsed briefly in an
establishing shot, with the Manhattan skyline digitally added around it).
The fidelity of the artwork is eye - watering in places; a narrow alley in a shanty town can be just as
breathtaking in its detail as the vertiginous, aerial
establishing shot that runs under the credits.
