When Angela is at the airport and asked whether she is Ruth Marx, the woman asking got the information from the computer, including her address, which was the correct one. So the house actually belonged to Ruth Marx, but the realtor said that the records claimed Angela Bennett to be the owner. [The airport attendant is looking at falsified records. One part was falsified and not another. Where's the mistake?]

When Angela gets to the computer show and emails the FBI, she types in the email BCG@FBI.JUSTICE - presumably, the BCG is Ben, the friend of her shrink. But he only called Ben, he never gave her Ben's email address. [Ben's full name is Ben Phillips, so I don't think BCG@FBI.JUSTICE is his e-mail address. Its more likely the general e-mail for the FBI's computer crimes division.]
Edit
When the fake Angela Bennett (Ruth Marx) gets back to her cubicle after the fire alarm, the screen is a Cathedral screen saver, then it switches to a picture of Gregg, then back to the Cathedral screen saver, all without her ever touching the mouse or keyboard. [If you look closer there are TWO computers in the cubicle. One has its screen saver on throughout the entire scene, even when the real Angela is working on it. The other computer is where the real Angela was working. Also, if you watch where the fake Angel looks when she comes back to her cubicle from outside, she looks to her left. When the camera switches angles so that you can see the entire cubicle, the computer that the real Angela was working on (without a screen saver) is on her left.]
Edit
When Angela arrives at the hotel after leaving the hospital, the desk clerk tells her "Angela Bennett checked out last Saturday night." The only information on the screen - we see him reading from it - is that "This guest has checked out." There is no reference to any dates, times, room number, billing, or anything else that a hotel reservations system would include on such a screen (even back in 1995 when the movie was released). He couldn't know the day she checked out, unless he remembered the guest personally, in which case he wouldn't be checking the computer. [There could have been a previous screen not shown to us that says when she checked out. Maybe there was a details button and he clicked on it and got the "this guest has checked out" meaning she didn't leave any forwarding info.]

Even though Angela loses all her belongings in Mexico, she returns to her car parked at the airport. Was she going to try & hotwire it without her keys? [Even though the practice is discouraged, many people leave spare keys where they can find them in their car.]
Edit Time
When Jack takes his gun from Angela (on the boat after their tryst), why doesn't he realize it's empty (Angela has removed the clip) until he tries to use it? He should have noticed the weight difference. [Pistols commonly come in weights of 20-40 ounces, and empty clips 2-5 ounces. The fully-loaded gun might weigh 50 ounces, but the full clip might only be 10 ounces of it. A 20% drop in weight is not likely noticeable, especially on a rocking boat.]
Edit
When Jack and Angela are on the boat, Jack puts a gun in his jacket pocket. A few minutes later, Jack drops his jacket to the floor but the noise that you hear when it hits the floor surely isn't loud enough for a gun to be in his pocket? [Since the gun is IN his pocket, the sound of contact when dropped to the deck is muffled by the fabric.]
Edit
When Angela and the shrink are in the hotel just after he finds her, the bag with clothes is on the floor, then by magic, it's on a chair. [It is not the same bag. He actually brings in two bags, one containing clothes and one containing a laptop. He puts one bag on the floor and one on the couch.]
Edit
In the scene where Angela goes to the Cathedral office, when she enters the building it is daylight outside, and daylight is coming in from the windows when she enters the office. In the few minutes that it takes her to empty the office with the fire alarm, it has turned to night-time outside when she looks out the window. [This is entirely possible if it was near sunset by the time Angela reached the building.]
Edit
During the movie, Sandra Bullock spends her nights in several different hotels. How does she pay for them? Since she hasn't got any type of credit card anymore, she'd have to pay cash all the time - why would she suddenly have so much money? [There's nothing stopping her from going to a pawn shop and hocking some of her belongings for cash.]
