Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the "You deserve to die" scene between Ben Mendelsohn and Nicole Kidman in the kitchen, the cork on the counter (its bottom) is facing left. She then faces the knife racks, and the cork is facing right. Goes back as it was when the camera angle is the same as before. Same for her left bang; gone, long to the breasts, gone. (00:32:40)

Continuity mistake: Elias makes it so that Kyle can't touch his glasses, and drags his wife away. Nicole Kidman is facing the door, but in the next shot (Kyle is shoved to the ground) she is facing him. (00:31:45)

Continuity mistake: Kyle is reaching for his glasses on the floor with a sweat-stained shirt in the first shot. The glasses change position on the floor (look at the lines between the tiles) and the sleeve dried up. (00:31:40)

Revealing mistake: The gang is starting to argue as they are running behind schedule. The big guy is holding Nicole Kidman at knife-point. The camera zooms in on her breathing heavily...so heavily that the 'metal' blade of the knife bends up and down. (00:29:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The younger brother threatens the big guy saying "If you touch her I will f**king kill you." The guy's knife is against the right half of Nicole Kidman's neck, while it's past the mid point in the shots before and after. Her hair is also changing position, look at the big curl on the last shot. (00:28:50)

Continuity mistake: In the first flashback when Sarah recognizes the youngest guy in the gang, her hair is parted differently over her shoulder in close-ups. (00:23:25)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: In the reaction shot to the "Everybody wins and everybody lives" line when Kyle offers to cut the diamonds, Nicole Kidman lacks the long bangs that she is sporting in the rest of the scene. (00:22:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Avery is with the junkie rich guy who set up some coke on the table. The rolled-up note and the dollars by the border of the table change position at the cut. (00:16:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When the robber asks Kyle the code for the alarm system on the ground just past the entrance, Nicole Kidman is holding Nicolas Cage's hand in a different spot in the various shots. (00:14:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: The bad guys put Kyle and Sarah Miller on the ground in the hallway; hilariously enough, Nicolas Cage reaching for Nicole Kidman's hand grabs by mistake together with her hand also part of her hair pulling it. It's gone in the next shot. (00:13:20)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: After the intermission showing Avery at the party, the movie shows the villains throwing to the ground Nicole Kidman. Look at the guy with Nicolas Cage; he has the gun pointed at his head already when he says "On your f*cking knees", but pointed away from him in the next shot saying "Face down." (00:13:15)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Nicole Kidman is tackled by two criminals at the garage door; they are inches away from her, but somehow she manages to hop on the car and start it before the bad guys show up. (00:12:25)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Sarah offers her husband a glass of wine, she is holding her own glass with her fingers pointing up or level depending on the shot. (00:09:20)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Avery asks her mum permission to go to a party. She replies in the end "Well, I said no" just as the dad arrives. The hair on her shoulder/upper arm changes position between shots. (00:02:40)

Sammo ★

Factual error: In the climax of the movie, Nicholas Cage uses a nail gun like a marksman, hitting with precision the bad guy that holds his wife tight. Besides this skill of his coming out of left field, a nail gun does needs a surface against the opening. It does not shoot nails in the air without pressure being applied, it's a Hollywood trope.
