Factual error: Renato and Asher could not just fly from the USA to Mexico; they'd need permission to fly and crossed a border without a passport.
Factual error: It would not be possible for Kyle to see the woman breast-feeding - and certainly not as shown. Kyle was driving an SUV in the left lane and Swin was the front-seat passenger. When a car was approaching the SUV from the right-hand lane and the rear passenger area was approximately side-by-side at the SUV's passenger window (which is DARK-TINTED!), Swin looked toward the car, but his face was right in front of the frame around the windows - he would, at most, see the woman's left shoulder... and the baby was feeding "on the right." I doubt Kyle would have been able to see any part of the woman when he turned his head to look. At most (and this is unlikely given the height of the SUV), he might have gotten a partial glimpse of the woman's left shoulder and only after the car she was riding in was in front of the SUV's windshield (but still in the right-hand lane).

Factual error: During one scene, a police siren can be heard in the background. However, this was 1960/1 and police sirens were not introduced into the UK until 1963. Before that, police cars had bells.
Factual error: After sleeping in and being late for practice, Jack is driving to the gym. It is supposed to be morning yet the shadows made by the sun show the sun is setting over the ocean and therefore evening.
Factual error: It would have been impossible for the woman to have fallen into the hole on her own and get impaled by the stakes like she did. In order for the woman to land face-up on her back and get impaled by stakes straight up (perpendicular to the ground), she would need to be dropped from above the hole. Even then, the chances of getting impaled like she did would be around zero because her upper body, weighing more than her lower body, would fall faster and hit first at an angle. (00:14:33)
Factual error: 1. Turntables used by radio stations have no repeat play function; they are strictly manual operation. 2. Even if they did, continuous play of one 45rpm record would have eventually elicited a skip, and later the complete wearing through of the vinyl by friction of the needle. (01:25:40)
Factual error: TV reporters said "home invasions" and mentioned trying to find the people who were responsible for the "70 robberies." Lance (in prison), was talking to a woman who was going to write a book and told her he got "twelve years" for "fifteen counts of robbery and vandalism." The crime Lance and the rest of the group were committing fits the legal definition of "burglary" in Illinois (basically, entering an occupied structure with the intent to commit a felony or theft inside; the structure does not have to be occupied at the time of the act). Because there happened to be someone at home during their last (intended) "burglary", this offense would be classified as a "robbery."
Factual error: The Mahindra tractor in the film is newer than the 1980's setting. The tractor appears to be a '90's model. Mahindra tractors were not in the American market in the 1980's. Also, the "plow" used in the plowing scene was actually a "middle buster" plow. This plow would not be used at this stage or soil preparation. A turning plow would have been more accurate.
