Suggested correction: Light saw Ryuk after he tried writing a name down in the piece of the notebook hidden in his watch. Since he touched that piece, it makes perfect sense he would see Ryuk as that piece was originally part of Ryuk's death note and wasn't swapped by L.

The Good Shepherd picture

Plot hole: Near the film's end, when Edward Sr.'s son, Edward Jr., is about to be married, Edward Sr. approaches his son looking very grim. He is about to tell his son that his fiancee has died. At this key moment, Edward's wife exclaims to her husband, "What have you done?!" Logically, this does not make sense, since Edward's wife, Margaret, has no knowledge (as far as the audience knows) of the Bay of Pigs leak made by her son, nor of her son's fiancee's spy role in obtaining the information. Without knowing this information, Margaret would have no reason to suspect that her husband was involved in some bad incident involving her son's fiancee.

Waist Deep picture

Plot hole: When 02 is carjacked, he runs after his vehicle for some distance. When he finally gives up, he looks into a nearby alley and sees Coco, the girl who initially marked him for the carjacking. This conveniently moves the story along, but makes no sense. She could not have run that distance so quickly, nor would she have reason to follow him.

The Devil Wears Prada picture

Plot hole: Miranda forces Andy to tell Emily that she's been dropped from the Paris fashion trip. However, Emily is hit by the car before Andy delivers the bad news.

The Sentinel picture

Plot hole: Right at the end when Pete calls for the "Hard Car" to evacuate the president, he gives very specific orders as to the evacuation point. Considering he was to be arrested on sight, there is no way he would know any of the security arrangements and they would surely have changed them radically because he was such a senior agent. The Secret Service is constantly changing their security.

Black Snake Moan picture

Plot hole: A few days after deploying, Ronnie returns home due to being discharged from the National Guard because of his anxiety disorder. In reality, being medically discharged could take months or longer, depending on how long it takes the Army to decide on follow-up medical care and possible post-discharge disability compensation. If the Army suspects that he concealed an anxiety diagnosis before he enlisted, that could result in an additional investigation for possible fraudulent enlistment charges.

Flirting with Flamenco picture

Plot hole: The contest happens on July 16th 2005. Karen appears on a magazine cover as the successful new manager in the September 2005 issue, which is really a bit too fast considering in barely a month Bowker's wife would have had to divorce him, sell the company and reduce him as the homeless bum shown, on top of Karen actually taking over.

Deja Vu picture

Plot hole: Just before the bomb explodes at the beginning of the movie, the guard is looking for the car playing 'don't worry baby' on it's stereo. In the final timeline the disaster has been averted, the bomb having gone off, and the ferry docked. After this, when Carlin is in the car, the same song is playing, but the bomb was set to a timer.

Suggested correction: That's why the movie is called Deja Vu and thats why Carlin gives the girl such a strange look. The song triggers a feeling of Deja Vu for him and it almost feels to him that he knows her. Besides, a different station could have been playing the song.

Suggested correction: The first time it plays comes off the radio. The second time we hear it mid-play. It could have come from a different station, the same station could have played it again later, or a CD or cassette being played in the car.
