Factual error: When Janet dials 911 from her cell phone, we hear a low tone followed by two higher tones. In reality, 911 is a high tone followed by two lower tones. Additionally, she dials 911 and puts the phone up to her ear without ever pressing the "Talk" button. (01:35:10)

Factual error: This film depicts wire transfers as happening instantly. Electronic transfers of funds actually take 2 business days - 3 if the transfer is submitted after the Federal Reserve has closed for the day.
