Abduction

Character mistake: Near the end of the movie, Dr. Bennett told Nathan that he could live with her and be able to finish the school year (without having to transfer). Assuming Nathan was a minor (under 18 years of age), Dr. Bennett did not have the legal authority to simply take custody of Nathan. There are proper court procedures to follow; a judge would have to agree and sign a court order declaring Dr. Bennett as Nathan's (temporary or permanent) legal guardian.

Continuity mistake: In the scene when Nathan asks Mara if she is his mother and receives the call from Karen, daylight is visible out the window. However, in the span of time it takes Mara to go downstairs to get Kevin, and Karen to rush across the street, the scene is suddenly dark and night.

Trivia: Nathan and Karen were spotted traveling on the "Fourth Street Bridge." The odds of being on a bridge when fleeing the city of Pittsburgh (movie's primary setting) are quite high - there are 446 bridges in Pittsburgh, the greatest number of any other city in the world. [Venice, Italy previously held the record with 443 bridges.] Perhaps not surprisingly, Pittsburgh is nicknamed "The City of Bridges."
