The Town

Plot hole: When Claire is getting interviewed at the FBI building, there's pics of inside the bank during the robbery, even though the security tapes were destroyed in the microwave.

Mike Mueller

Plot hole: These guys supposedly rob banks in Boston and then high tail it back to "safety" in Charlestown. In one chase the police even screech to a halt at the city limits. First of all, Charlestown is not a separate city, it's a neighborhood within Boston so that idea doesn't hold water. Second, police can continue a chase past city lines anyway.

Suggested correction: The cop cars only "screech to a halt" because they are intentionally blocking the bridge to Charlestown. At that point they had switched cars and there were no police actively on their tail, so the police didn't realise they were too late in blocking the bridge.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Doug and his brother are talking outside the cemetery, the zipper on Doug's jacket goes from being almost completely zipped to about halfway zipped without him touching it.
