Directed by: Denis Villeneuve
Starring: Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Maria Bello, Viola Davis, Melissa Leo
Factual error: When Hugh Jackman leaves the apartment where he is holding Alex and walks to a store to buy a bottle of liquor the liquor store has signs for beer in the window. The entire movie takes place in Pennsylvania, which only has state owned liquor stores that do not advertise or sell beer.
Suggested correction: I only saw wine and spirits advertised. He also drives his pick up to the store.
Revealing mistake: Towards the end, Jake Gyllenhaal is browsing the internet on a computer running Windows 7...despite the "no network" notification icon at the bottom right of the taskbar. (01:25:05)
Keller Dover: Someone has to make him talk or they're gonna die.
Trivia: When Keller looks at the newspaper detailing Bob Taylor's suicide whilst at Holly's house, the reporter who wrote the article is called Aaron Guzikowski. Aaron Guzikowski is also the name of the movie's screenwriter. (01:51:15)
Question: Why did Bob have the snakes? Is it linked to the snakes that scared Alex as a child or is it just a coincidence? If they are supposed to protect the evidence in the crates, they wouldn't be in plain sight.
Chosen answer: In the film it is just a coincidence. However, the snakes tie into the rest of the religious and mythological imagery present in the film.
