Jack Reacher

Continuity mistake: When Reacher arrives at the shooting range it's hot and sunny. When he walks down the driving range it's overcast and looks like it's been raining with a slight mist coming in. When he looks back down the range, cut to the owner and shooting scene and it's hot and sunny again.

Continuity mistake: At the end of the bar fight when the cops are pulling up to the scene, a shot from inside one of the cop cars shows it passing the blue pickup truck and getting close to Reacher and Sandy. In the next shot from Reacher's perspective, both cop cars are much further away.

Audio problem: When Reacher reverses out of the motel parking lot, a car is seen braking hard to avoid hitting him and honking. The audio sound of the car horn has a "doppler effect", sounding like a passing vehicle, but the car doesn't pass the viewer as it comes to a halt in frame.

Trivia: A point in the score from this, by Joe Kraemer, inspired The Batman's signature motif by Michael Giacchino. After the phone call between Jack and Helen when he warns her potentially not to trust her father, he's driving across a bridge and the music is almost identical to the "bom...bombom...bom" theme from The Batman.

James Barr: There's this guy. He's a kind of cop, at least he used to be. He doesn't care about proof, he doesn't care about the law, he only cares about what's right. He knows what I did. You can't protect me. No one can.

Jack Reacher: You think I'm a hero? I am not a hero. And if you're smart, that scares you. Because I have nothing to lose.

Question: How did Reacher know it was James Barr who killed those men in Baghdad? Unless there was a forensic sweep on the bodies or for shell casings, how was he caught? There could have been multiple army snipers in the general area who could have committed the act.
