Revealing mistake: To kill the second and third guy at the food court, Eddie does a rather unlikely slide across the floor. His shirt is pristine even in the back, despite having sailed across soda. (00:57:40)

Stupidity: The villain has a couple dozen able men fully equipped with lights (plus vehicles, obviously), but instead of using them to run after the kid who has a minute tops head start on him and is running blindly in soaked mud fields on her little legs, he uses his manpower to clean up the road from blood, spikes and various other traces of the precise location of the shootout. Rather pointless move since the feds are gonna come anyway in the area because of the communication loss with the convoy, with a decent approximation of their position. It appears unbelievable that he would have his priorities so wrong and just leave the girl to run free like that.

Factual error: Before the assault by the criminals, the marshal says that they are unlikely to make it to Cedar City faster than an hour in that rain. The movie though is apparently set between Michigan (most of the license plates are from there) and Ohio (the main character's car plate, plus you can actually see GPS coordinates 41°42'57.2"N 83°41'19.3"W, which puts them near Toledo). Driving from Michigan to Utah (where Cedar City is) is just short of driving coast to coast, certainly no-one hour affair either way. (00:06:20 - 00:07:05)

Continuity mistake: Talking for the first time with Eddie, Ruby says "I can use a bow": Antonio Banderas' hand goes from his chin to being firmly against the counter right at the cut. (00:41:30)

Continuity mistake: Looking at the food court from the security monitor, Johnny appears to have his left leg bent, but in the previous close-up of his dead body, the leg was straight. (00:54:10)

Continuity mistake: When the sniper mercy-kills the driver on fire, he falls in a spot on the asphalt completely different from where Cung Le's men later retrieve the corpse from. (00:38:45 - 00:40:00)

Continuity mistake: In the basement, Eddie gives Jamie a bottle of water and a pink walkie-talkie. They switch hands in the one shot from Katherine Mary de la Rocha's left. (00:34:40)

Continuity mistake: Eddie puts the fake fed in a leglock and shoots him in the head; the other fed to his right has his arm bent or straight up depending on the camera angle. (01:19:50)

Revealing mistake: When Banderas and co set ablaze the SUV dropping the flaming sofa on it, the man coming out of it is wearing a full fire retardant suit. (00:38:35)

Character mistake: When we see the relative positions Eddie and Johnny have, Eddie appears to be the one that should have done the signaling to the patrol car instead. (00:55:40)

Factual error: Throughout the whole movie, whenever federal agents (or people posing as such...) tasked with the case are shown, they wear uniforms with "U.S.A. Marshals" written in big yellow letters. Of course the one and only correct spelling would be "U.S. Marshal"
