Revealing mistake: While breaking into the vault Gabe and Ripley use two ratchets to pull the large block that they cut out of the wall. The block moves as they pull the ratchet arm back. The block however moves only at the end of the pull for the second pull which makes no sense. This was an obvious timing error from whatever was really doing the pulling. The ratchet itself would've only pulled the block an inch at best. Additionally, when the block is almost out it shifts unnaturally showing that it was not made out of concrete. (00:56:45)

Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Mimi Leder
Starring: Morgan Freeman, Antonio Banderas, Radha Mitchell, Robert Forster, Rade Serbedzija, Corey Johnson
Gabriel (Antonio Banderas) is an undercover cop working with Weber (Robert Forster) to capture Ripley (Morgan Freeman). Ripley already knew that Gabriel is a cop. Gabriel gives the Faberge eggs to Nicky (Rade Serbedzija) and he releases Alexa (Radha Mitchell). When the cops and the FBI have in custody a man who is supposedly Nicky, Gabriel looks at mug shots and realizes that Nicky is really Victor Korolenko (Alexa's father). Victor didn't die at the beginning of the movie. Gabriel realizes that Ripley, Alexa and her father deceived him the whole time. Korolenko and Ripley leave the country with the Faberge eggs. Gabriel goes back to the Russian club and talks with Alexa. They dance and she tells him that their relationship was real...
