Continuity mistake: In the scene in the father's house, the boy drops the DVD's face down. In the next shot, they appear face up.
Factual error: When Jeff Tally gets the first call from the little boy Tony, he checks both his cells. The blue Nokia is ringing however there isn't an incoming call on his phone, you see that as he has the two options, either "clear" and "options", meaning that the seven numbers have been typed in. (00:45:00)
Jeff Talley: Joe! Only God gets to decide who lives and who dies.
Kevin Kelly: I'm your brother.
Dennis Kelly: I said I fucking.
Kevin Kelly: I'm your brother! So you gotta choose. Me, or Mars?
Dennis Kelly: I choose the money.
Jeff Talley: Captain Wubba's going to save Planet Xenon.
Question: I have two questions. 1) What exactly does Mr. Smith do with the DVDs? 2) I don't understand the final scene, is Mr. Smith helping Jeff Talley or is he helping the masked men?
