Plot hole: At the end of the movie when everyone is standing in the gallery looking at the painting now back in place (with the smoke and sprinklers still dripping) they notice that now there is a new painting missing, the one Thomas stole for Catherine.

This makes no sense why only that one would suddenly open and none of the others. (01:40:50)
Plot hole: The "titanium-reinforced" briefcase Thomas leaves to block the descending security gate would have had his fingerprints all over it.

Plot hole: The beach could be reached only by vehicle, but they only had one car and they arrived separately.
