Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click "make changes" when viewing mistakes, and click "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Watch Meg Ryan throughout this movie pretend to smoke. It's hilarious. They never show her take a drag of the cigarette yet she always has one. Why not just write her character as being a non-smoker? Did it really add that much to her character? [In the kitchen scene with Crowe, Ryan takes a drag of the cigarette, they show the back of her head when she does it. But regardless of whether she is seen smoking or not, this is still not a mistake. ]

Although they use the name of a fictitious South American country called Tecala, obviously the movie is an apology of Colombia. Kidnapping, Guerrilla, drugs...in the movie two actors are Colombian : Vicky Hernandez and Diego Trujillo . Besides actually there exists a drug dealer called the scorpion (Alacran in Spanish). His real name is Henry Loaiza. He is in jail now. [Actually, the movie has nothing to do with Colombia. "Tecala" is really Ecuador, who has all the same problems of drug, kidnapping, Guerillas etc.]

Russell Crowe is wearing a plaster on his eye. In one scene it's on his left eye and a few scenes later it's on his right eye. [When the plaster in on the wrong side, what we're seeing is his reflection in the window overlooking the city.]
