Other mistake: When they are shaving Sean Combs for his execution, the leg that they shave is white. When he stands up afterwards, you can see that his legs are very dark. (00:27:40)

Directed by: Marc Forster
Starring: Billy Bob Thornton, Halle Berry, Heath Ledger, Gabrielle Witcher, Taylor Simpson
Factual error: Billy Bob Thorton wore a uniform with a Louisiana state patch on it. All of the cars have Georgia license plates.
Ms. Guillermo: You must love him very much.
Hank Grotowski: No, I don't. But he's my father. So, there it is.
Trivia: For her role in the film, Halle Berry became the first black actress (even though she is actually bi-racial, as her mother is white) to win an Oscar for "Best Actress."
Question: What was with him vomiting throughout the movie? Did it mean something?
Chosen answer: Hank is a deputy warden in a Georgia state prison.He oversees the executions of condemned prisoners, and before each one he is literally sickened by having to perform this duty.
No - he threw up after sex with Berry which is well after he quit. He threw up after drinking heavily the night before.
Per the vomit-after-sex scene. I too, thought that the drinking must have caused it. I rewound and watched the scene again and BAM, I'd missed it! He's in the bathroom at the sink facing the mirror. THERE, TWICE, he can see the reflected picture of her dead executed husband: in the main mirror plus in the little round mirror to the right. (Musgrove's pic must be hung on the wall behind him.) That execution memory = vomiting.
He threw up because he saw her husband's picture.
Answer: It's quite evident that he vomited after seeing Leticia's husband's pic juxtaposed with his image which fortified guilt, it was sickening to him.
