Continuity mistake: Tommy, the truck driver, offers Ray a tip and Ray puts a money box on the desk and opens it. After they discuss him not wanting to accept the tip for a moment and then Tommy walking away letting him keep it, it cuts to Ray putting the money in his back pocket. In that shot the money box has disappeared from the desk, without him ever having touched it again in that scene. (00:18:10)

Continuity mistake: Ray is in their new room and pulls out a picture of his daughter. He sits on the bed looking at it and then looks up, staring out the window. His wife walks in as he's still looking straight ahead and then it cuts to an angle from behind and suddenly Ray's head is titled down with him looking down at the picture again. Only for him to lift his head to look out the window again a couple seconds later. (00:13:25)

Plot hole: Kingsley holds the only key card that can access the control room where the Captain is. He only has one card. He gives this key card to Rhodes so he can go up there and talk the Captain into not taking the sub to the surface yet, while Kingsley and his men head down to stop Scott and Taylor. When they employ the help of Marco and take out Kingsley and his men, Marco bends down and pulls the key card off Kingsley's neck so that now they have it... only Kingsley didn't have the key any more, as Rhodes had it and was still in the control room. A second key card magically materialized on Kingsley's neck.
Suggested correction: Kingsley only took the keycard from his neck to open the door and then hold it in his hand, so I guess he actually didn't give it to Rhodes. Just opened the doors.
