Other mistake: When Michael borrows a cell phone on the train, he goes to the back to get a signal. In reality, walking around on a moving train does not do anything because you're already moving.

1 other mistake
Directed by: Jaume Collet-Serra
Starring: Liam Neeson, Sam Neill, Patrick Wilson, Vera Farmiga, Jonathan Banks
Factual error: Michael boards a commuter train at Grand Central, which then stops at subway stations at 68th Street, 86th Street, and 110th Street along Lexington Avenue. This is impossible.
Michael MacCauley: What happens when you find 'em?
Joanna: They die. Hypothetically.
Question: Why does the weather and road/ground change so much (dry, rain storm, wet, snow) in the beginning of the movie from the kitchen to the train station?

Answer: The opening credit scene (waking up, in the kitchen, the drive, being on the train, and walking through the terminal) is montage where each cut represents another day in Michael's life. It's meant to show the monotony of his life through the whole year (or even years) and how he follows the same routine everyday.
