Factual error: Dutch police cars don't look like they do in the movie, with their blue and white checkerboard pattern. They had blue and orange diagonal stripes on the side. In this movie, they look much closer to what British police cars look like.

Plot hole: The testimony at the beginning is dismissed as "hearsay" by the judge, but it isn't! It's eyewitness testimony under oath - the judge/jury determine how much weight it has as evidence, not dismiss simply because there's no physical evidence supporting it. The testimony itself is the evidence. Hearsay would be if the witness was testifying that someone else told him what happened. But he's saying he saw this with his own eyes - very different.

Factual error: To my knowledge there is no metro in The Hague. And the only tram in the Hague that goes through a tunnel looks totally different.

Factual error: The "blend right in" car they steal and crash deploys its airbags, which stay inflated, and Samuel L. Jackson shoots them to deflate them. That's not how airbags work - they deflate immediately, that's part of how they cushion the impact.

Factual error: When they are transferring Kincaid from his prison in Manchester to an airport, they travel through Coventry city centre, where he escapes. There is no need to travel through Coventry. Manchester has an airport, there is no airport in or near Coventry which requires you to leave the motorway network and travel through the city.

Plot hole: If there really was such a high-profile case where a witness went missing during transport after a terrorist attack, there is no way the trial wouldn't have been suspended until that witness turned up, be it dead or alive.

Continuity mistake: When Kincaid is trying to escape the assassin's in the C-max he drives under a bridge with the boot closed, when he emerges from the bridge, in the very next shot, the boot is open. (01:31:25)

Factual error: In the flashback to Whitman's first hit, that of the killer of a pastor, a rook is shown. This bird is not found in the US.

Factual error: There is no Dover-to-Amsterdam ferry service. Such a ferry would quickly cross the English Channel and then sail northeast along the coasts of France, Belgium and the Netherlands (passing The Hague on the way).

Michael Bryce: This guy single-handedly ruined the word motherfucker.

Question: In the beginning of the movie there is a man recounting his story about how his wife and child were killed by Dukhovich. The opposing attorney objects due to hearsay. How is this hearsay, when the man was telling his story of him seeing his own family killed?

Answer: You are right. It isn't hearsay and this is a mistake.
