Corrected entry: As Russell is about to enter the house in a search for a dangerous adversary he loads his shotgun from an ammo holder on the stock. This is an extremely poor tactical move, especially for a trained police officer. The shells on the stock are extras; the gun should have originally been loaded from another supply prior to entry.

Directed by: Ron Shelton
Starring: Kurt Russell, Ving Rhames, Brendan Gleeson, Scott Speedman, Michael Michele
Plot hole: When Eldon checks out the address Van Meter gave him he finds where Orchard and Sidwell are living. All well and good, except: A) The utilities bill is in the names of Orchard and Sidwell, who are known wanted felons in L.A. and B) even more implausibly, the bill is in BOTH their names.
Jack Van Meter: Fuck L.A.
Correction: As you say, it's an extremely poor tactical move, not a mistake (except from the character).
