Chicago makes a poor stand-in for New York

Especially when a massive goof actually shows the name "Chicago" on top of a frickin' building that was meant to be New York!!

What happened? Didn't they have enough budget to film in the actual city of New York? Although I doubt that NYC actually has many train tracks in it, unlike harbours which it's famous for.

This film takes place in Chicago, not NY.

Yeah, Thorn lived in Chicago but made a stopover in New York to see Yigael's Wall that his terrified museum curator friend was so adamant for him to see. That scene with the trains and the buildings I mentioned was meant to be New York.

Oops. I see what you're referring to.
