Continuity: In the beginning when Kruger lures one of the bad guys out by carefully opening the door, we see the bad guy go out the door pointing his gun up. When it cuts from outside he is pointing his gun forward.
Continuity: In the beginning when Kruger puts the gun in the dead hit man's hand, you can see Kruger's gloves are covered in blood. When it cuts to Kruger grabbing his phone his gloves are entirely clean.
Continuity: During the scene near the beginning where Arnie sends the abandoned car into the river, have a look at the front passenger window. It is closed when they all get out of the car but is then fully open as the car hits the water.
Continuity: Arnold goes to the gay bar to solicit the help of the guy he saved at the beginning of the movie. The guy is wearing a white shirt and a vest black/gold lamay. During their conversation he takes off the vest, then it cuts to another bartender. When it cuts back the guy has the vest on, another shot and the vest is off again.
Continuity: When Kruger is figuring out which one of the three ID's that are fake, in the close-up shot you can see two different scales and a photograph on the table next to the ID's. When it cuts they are gone.
Continuity: In Chief Beller's office when Kruger is handed Cullen's file, Kruger sits down while holding his left hand in the middle of the file. When it cuts his hand has moved out to the corner of the file.
Revealing: When Cullen is in her office wearing the hidden camera disguised as an amulet, we see her from the hidden camera point of view while she is looking in the mirror. You can see she is moving a bit however the view from the hidden camera is perfectly still. It should wobble a bit as well, not standing still.
Visible crew/equipment: When Cullen is walking down the hall towards the vault we get a camera view where the camera turns to the left, then it turns to the right. If you look closely in the window as the camera turns right you should be able to see the camera man moving.
Continuity: When Cullen enters the combination for the vault it cuts to the agents following her moves with one of them saying "Bingo.". Look at the surveillance screen behind him and you should be able to see Cullen opening the vault door. When it cuts she opens it again.
Continuity: When Donahue shoots himself in the head there is one shot where his eyes are closed. Then suddenly they are open.
Continuity: After Cullen has been picked up by the FBI agents they are sitting by a table where Cullen is explained there would be risks. There is a coffee pot on the table and a white paper cup on its right side. When it cuts the paper cup has moved to the other side of the pot.
Revealing: When Lee is watching out her window as she pulls her curtains aside you can see there are some blinds in the window. When it cuts to her looking out the window you can see there are different curtains this time and the blinds are gone.
Factual error: When the bad guys are looking through walls with the rail gun's scope the light on the gun shines through the wall, but in real life it doesn't do that unless you are looking through a window.
Continuity: Arnold dives to save the girl under the lid of a fridge. When all the drill bits are shot at him with his hand above the fridge door, none hit his hand. But in the next angle one penetrated his hand. Then in the next scene, when he's driving the van with both hands and when he swipes the credit card the wound appears and disappears.
Revealing: When Kruger's hand is nailed to the fridge, as he begins pulling his hand loose, you can see it's a fake rubber hand. The fingers wobble in an unnatural way.
Continuity: When Arnold gives the girl a credit card, he slides the card to give her credit, but the magnetic strip is facing the wrong way.
Continuity: Arnold is handed an upside down photograph of his friend's witness. As he views it the photograph is correctly oriented without being turned around.
Factual error: When the Feds are going to the log cabin, while they are outside, gearing up, Arnold casually attaches a silencer, and pulls back the slide of his pistol, but the slide stays in the rearward position, a condition which should only occur when an empty magazine is in the weapon. Arnold notices and tries to push it forward, this doesn't work so Arnold hides it with his hand for the remainder of the scene.
Continuity: When Robert is strangling his witness we see her grabbing onto the rug with her left hand. When it cuts she suddenly has her hand by Robert's waist.
