Directed by: Olivier Megaton
Starring: Liam Neeson, Forest Whitaker, Famke Janssen, Maggie Grace
Character mistake: When Dotzler is giving one of his first meetings when trying to catch Brian in the police station, the LAPD signs behind him are misspelled "Departement."
Character mistake: Liam calls his daughter's boyfriend Timmy, then a minute later he calls him Jimmy.
Factual error: The police release Bryan once it is proved he didn't kill his wife. However, they ignore the multiple murders committed by Bryan (for example, he killed bodyguards that were just doing their job), easily injured - if not not killed - many innocent bystanders in a variety of action man moments (freeway pileup, parking garage explosion, etc) and resisting arrest twice.
Franck Dotzler: If you go down this road, the LAPD, the FBI, the CIA... They're all gonna come for you. They'll find you. And they'll stop you.
Bryan Mills: Good luck.
Question: In a movie where a person is waterboarded, is the actor literally waterboarded? Or is there a type of trick or method that directors use?
Answer: Some water might have been used, but actually waterboarding an actor would be a safety hazard. Most likely some special effects are involved.
