Collateral (2004)

Stupidity: Vincent's choice to cut the power to the building that Annie is in does nothing but waste enough time for Max to save Annie. It would have been easier just to go up to kill her and he probably would have gotten away from the police if he did so.

Suggested correction: It also slows Annie and Max down by forcing them to walk in the dark, and also, at this point, Vincent is really torn up from the crash, and the mere sight of him is going to make Annie very suspicious or even afraid, unless the power out (which for all she knows is just from the building) gives him a plausible reason for being so mauled.

Collateral (2004)

Corrected entry: Vincent cuts the power to the building, thus alerting Jada Pinkett Smith. He did not know she was being warned on the phone and lost all his element of surprise. He could have just sneaked up on her without having to kill the electricity.

Correction: So what? Then that was a questionable choice made by Vincent, not an error in the movie.

Correction: She also wouldn't necessarily think the blackout was a grave danger caused by an attacker, just an inconvenience from the building, she might stay put 'til the lights come back, not wanting to trip on things, That might be Vincent's plan.

Collateral mistake picture

Revealing mistake: In the train scene if you look closely at Vincent's ear as he steps off the train ready to shoot Max and Annie, it looks like he has an earpiece or some kind of small blood pack in his ear. (01:44:05)

Suggested correction: He could, in fact have an earpiece/hearing aid in place, and what with the wild night he's been having, the accident and all, a blood pack is not out of place either.

It's visible that just a little amount of blood dried up in the ear. Not any earpiece or blood pack.
