I was delighted to notice that William Hurt's character works in a T.V. station - you will see that during one of his phone conversations with Samuel Jackson. Anyone remember Broadcast News? See more...

Mistake Factual error: Michelle tells Gavin over the phone that it's Good Friday when he asks her what day it is. When Gavin comes back to the office after Doyle's arrest, a radio is on reporting the Dow and NASDAQ closes for the day. The market is not open on Good Friday.

Mistake Plot hole: When Ben Affleck is meeting with the man who changes Samuel Jackson's credit record, the man remarks that Samuel Jackson should not have told Ben Affleck that he was in insurance. Samuel Jackson never told Ben Affleck that he was in insurance.

Mistake Continuity: In the daytime restaurant scene between Ben Affleck and his wife, the wife tells Ben Affleck that they are going to dinner that evening with two friends, one of whom is Carl and other a woman. However, later that evening the dinner date is with the wife's parents. The wife's father's name is Steve, not Carl.

Mistake Factual error: When Sam Jackson removes the lug nuts from Ben Afflecks' Mercedes, Ben's character continues to drive before the wheel comes off. All Mercedes models use wheel lug bolts and once removed, the wheel immediately falls of the hub.

Mistake Factual error: When Jackson removes the wheel bolts from Affleck's car and Affleck crashes, the airbags on the Mercedes come out but when Affleck is out of the car the airbags are still fully blown. When airbags are activated in reality they inflate then immediately deflate, the idea being that you hit them as they deflate, cushioning the blow.

Mistake Continuity: During the events on the first day you see Ben Affleck wearing laced up shoes and then as he is stepping out of the car in the rain, he is wearing loafers. Where did the laced up shoes go?

Mistake Continuity: In the courtroom, Gavin puts down two files. One orange, one blue. In the next shot the files are black and blue. The next time they're in the courtroom and Terry mentions Gavin's accident the folder is orange again then gone altogether.

Mistake Other: At the end of the film when Samuel L Jackson's character is standing looking across at his family, it is raining on his side but not on the other side of the road.

Mistake Plot hole: Doyle tells Gavin that it will take 30 minutes to get to his bank. Then Gavin's wife calls and tells him to meet her In 10 minutes. Doyle gets to the bank before Gavin Meets his wife.

Mistake Continuity: After Ben Affleck sets the sprinklers off in his office, his suit is drenched. As he exits the building minutes later, it's completely dry.

Mistake Continuity: When Ben Affleck is in court, he is playing with his wedding ring - the very next shot is him with his hands tother.

Mistake Continuity: After Affleck's car strikes Jackson's and comes to a halt, an overhead shot shows his driver's side door only a few inches away from the plastic barrels in the median. In the next shot, Affleck opens the door a couple of feet, enough to exit easily. The median barrels are filled with sand. It would be impossible to push them away with a car door.

Mistake Continuity: After Doyle and Gavin agree to meet at the court (right before Gavin's second highway crash), there is a scene of a taxi driving on the left side of the road. This shot was obviously flipped, as everyone in the U.S. drives on the right-hand side of the road.

Mistake Continuity: When the kid on the bike throws shredded paper in Affleck's hands, the paper is in the kid's left hand. Then when he throws it in Affleck's hand, it is in his right.
