Continuity mistake: The scene after the one where Ben makes his special sandwich begins with Holly preparing bedazzled wings for her younger daughter. The actress raises her left hand to cover her mouth, but in the next shot it's the right hand instead. (00:16:50)
Revealing mistake: When Paul Castellano is shot, there is a blood spurt shown from where the bullet hits, but the position of the gunman who fires at him doesn't match the direction the blood spurts. The gunman is across the street facing Castellano at an angle, but the blood spurt shown could only be achieved if the two were facing each other directly. (00:56:10)
Revealing mistake: When Bu is packing up his things in his bedroom, the camera appears to sway abruptly from side to side two or three times during the scene, almost as if the cameraman couldn't keep the camera steady. (00:57:25 - 00:57:50)
Factual error: Second scene, caption says "1977 southern California" but she's driving a white 90's Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera Fwd station wagon.
Deliberate mistake: For dramatic purposes, the crew is shown surviving for several days. The investigators found evidence that the fire in the compartment occurred around six hours after the Kursk sank, and that the survivors had died before the first rescue attempt took place. They wouldn't have been saved even if the multinational team had been called in sooner.
Continuity mistake: Jeffrey downs all his whiskey, but in the following shot his glass is still half empty. (01:35:50)
Continuity mistake: In Alice's apartment the clock on the wall has the time as 8:40 when she is standing and kissing David. They have sex and Veronica comes over. Alice and Veronica talk and the clock still shows 8:40. (01:20:00)
Revealing mistake: When Kurt and Elisabeth are looking at the painting of the Third Reich caricatures, in the shot focusing on them, a little girl in the background can be seen glancing at the camera. (00:01:45)
Character mistake: Immediately after the crash, when Reeves is carrying his youngest child Sophie, the actress opens up her mouth, even though she has already drowned. (00:14:43)
Continuity mistake: Violet's mom is hot combing her hair at 5 AM; as she performs this operation on the left side, the right side has straight black hair all in front of the shoulder. When Violet tells her that dad is coming, she moves to the right side. Sanaa Lathan's hair now is suddenly all behind the shoulder. (00:05:20)
