Continuity mistake: Radha Mitchell is giving a press release at the beginning of the movie. There are many microphones in front of her in rows. In the front row, from her left, are orange, black and blue microphones. In one shot from the front, another black microphone appears next to the blue one. (00:03:35)
Continuity mistake: The Sheriff and Leslie have an exchange in a coffee shop. As she walks past him, he says "How's the ex? You hear from him?" While saying this, his head turns to his right as he watches her go by and he is level. The shot changes to a closer one at a side angle and suddenly he is looking down at his plate. (00:42:55)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Terrence Howard is questioning Colin Farrell his right hand first appears with a ring and watch, later in the scene it appears on his left. (01:08:25)
Continuity mistake: At the beginning, the little girl's body changes position. When the trucker finds her, her lips are slightly apart, but when the police examine her body, her lips are closed.
Continuity mistake: At the end the guy is watching the video of the man that shoots himself in the chin, blood and bone go everywhere, then it shows the guy and girl walk in but there's absolutely no blood. They would have definitely noticed it.
Continuity mistake: By the end of the film, we realise that the Djinn (in this case an invisible and shape-shifting earthly entity of Islamic lore) has staged most of the film's events as a mass illusion. Meaning, the Djinn is a deceiver and can lead humans into dangerous and even deadly situations, but the Djinn cannot perform physical miracles (or else the whole movie would end almost as soon as it started). At the story's climax, the lead characters, Khalid and Salama, end up in the 62nd-floor penthouse of a luxury high-rise, where Khalid drops Salama to her death from the penthouse balcony, just as the vengeful Djinn intended. However, only minutes earlier, we see that the high-rise building is actually still under construction, and it's stated that the building is months away from completion (its main entrance and plate glass have not even been installed). The Djinn only created the illusion that the building was completed to deceive the lead characters. In reality, without electricity and functioning elevators and hundreds of feet of completed stairwells, there was no physical way for Khalid and Salama to reach the 62nd-floor penthouse suite of the high-rise for the climax scene, even if they were being deceived by illusion.
Continuity mistake: During the opening scene of the film we see two boxers fighting in Julian's boxing club. The fighter in red trunks knocks out the one in blue trunks and is announced the winner. Two men then come into the ring and, between shots, we see them pick up the loser off the floor twice. (00:02:51)
Continuity mistake: After the fake movie intro, the two guys drive to a secluded place where their drop is supposed to happen. "Cheno", the one in the driver seat, has the right hand down his side and the left hand on the right side of the steering wheel in a pretty unique position. But in the reverse shot, it's his right hand on the wheel. (00:03:00)
Continuity mistake: When Ivan invites Richie onto his yacht for the first time, a jet ski pulls into Ivan's close-up, and disappears after it cuts back.
