Continuity mistake: When the police officer "Sam" pulls over the mobsters on the road he gets the driver license from the driver. The shot is made to appear continuous. The back window of the car opens and the officer begins to speak to that mobster. He still hasn't given the drivers license back to any member of the car cause he looks down at it to remember the name of the driver. The mobster in the back rolls up his window and the car drives away. The officer never gave back the license but when the car drives away he doesn't even appear to be holding it anymore cause his arms are folded. (00:34:00)
