Derailed (2005) - 7 mistakes

Continuity: When Charles answers his cell phone after being in the bath, the hand holding the phone is wet and covered in bubbles. In the subsequent shots, his hand and arm are completely dry.

Factual error: In Derailed, the train that Lucinda and Charles ride is called the "Red Line, to Union Station". The Red line in Chicago does not go to Union Station and the train they are on is a Metra suburban mass transit train. The Red Line is part of the "El" system and is part of the CTA, not Metra.

Factual error: Charles takes out $100,000 from his bank account. A "front of the house" teller would not have $100,000 in their drawer, nor would that much money be given to someone right in the middle of the lobby. Large withdrawals like that are done in a private back office with a security guard present.

Revealing: When Charles Shine arrives at the bus station in the pouring rain, the background on all sides of him can be seen to be pure sunshine and dry land. It is obvious that a rain machine covering a VERY SMALL area was being used.

Continuity: After the hotel shoot-out, Charles retrieves his briefcase from the hotel safe and finds the $100,000 he gave LaRoche. However, this briefcase was actually the one in which he gave $20,000 to LaRoche - the case that contained the $100,000 was brown.

Plot hole: During the end of the fight scene in the hotel, Charlie gets hold of Dexter's gun. This gun is a Desert Eagle variant that fires either a .357, .44, or a .50AE caliber round. At the close proximity to Laroche that Charlie was, he would have taken his head clean off his shoulders instead of just taking out his eye.

Audio problem: When the cop is telling Charles that he is going to circle the block, in the wide shot, his lips don't match the words. This happens a couple of minutes before Charles dumps the car into the river.
