Audio problem: In the scene where Jack returns to the motel in the morning (after his first night with Stephanie), she's waiting for him on her motorcycle. When Jack goes back downstairs and gets on the back of the motorcycle, the sound effect is that of a revving bike engine, but you can see that Stephanie's right hand (the throttle hand) is not moving at all.

Continuity: In the scene where Miles and Maya walk up the stairs to her apartment, the stairs go straight in to her front door. Later, after their altercation, he drops her off and the stairs she climbs are at a right angle to her unit, not straight on.

Continuity: This is the scene where Miles, Stephanie and her mother are sitting at the table in the bowling alley. Stephanie's mom is smoking a cigarette; the scene cuts to Miles and back to Stephanie's mom. She is now holding an unlit cigarette in one hand and a lighter in the other about to light the cigarette. It once again cuts to Miles and you can see the smoke coming from her cigarette and Miles begins to cough.

Continuity: At the end of the scene where Miles freaks outs and runs through the vineyard he stops and gently stokes a grape bunch. You can easily tell that this is not from the first take as the dust on some of the grapes has already been wiped away.

Plot hole: During the scene when Miles is in the hotel room asleep while Jack is out with Stephanie, Christine calls Jack on his cell phone and then on the hotel phone. First disturbed and awakened by Jack's cell phone ringing, Miles gets up to check it to see who is calling. He sees that it is Christine calling, and then lays back down. The cell phone shows Christine calling and then IMMEDIATELY afterward, it says that there is a voicemail waiting. That certainly was an extremely short amount of time in which to leave a voicemail.

Continuity: When Jack first meets Maya and they are all having a drink at the bar, Maya is holding a cigarette. We can see she is holding the cigarette up near her face when the camera shows her from behind but is all of a sudden holding it near the bar counter in shots of her face. This continues until about halfway through the scene.
