In preparation for their action sequences, both Jessica Alba and Sam Hazeldine underwent extensive physical training. "I did it simply for the fact that I didn't want it to look ludicrous that I would be up against Jason in a fight," laughed Hazeldine. Alba continued by saying, "I had taken training in many different martial arts over the years doing action for a television show (Dark Angel (2000)), but for this film, I took krav maga. I felt it would be a lot more hand-to-hand, much more intuitive fighting. In the moments that you see Gina defend herself and in action, I just wanted it to be brutal and real and intense and messy. I think we've accomplished that, especially with Vic (Armstrong) shooting the action." Second Unit Director Vic Armstrong gave both actors high marks for their dedication, and the results they achieved on screen. "If she wasn't such a good actress, Jessica would make a wonderful stuntwoman," observed Armstrong. "She has a natural ability to throw a punch, to react, take a punch and hit the ground. I was absolutely overwhelmed by her ability and enthusiasm."
