Character mistake: The prescribing doctor or a nurse should have given Matt/Joey's mom instructions on the proper use of an oxygen mask, but she did not demonstrate this. She picked up the mask, put it over her nose/mouth, and immediately inhaled ONCE followed by removing the mask. About a minute later, she repeated these ineffective steps. Instead of inhaling the oxygen, she was most likely simply inhaling "regular air" in the room - she did not keep the mask on long enough to enable release of oxygen.
Don't Tell a Soul (2020)
1 character mistake
Directed by: Alex McAulay
Starring: Rainn Wilson, Mena Suvari, Jack Dylan Grazer, Fionn Whitehead
Other mistake: Matt told Joey that they could not go back to see if the guard was OK in the hole because as soon as Ms. Dillard gets home she will know she was robbed and will call the police. Joey's act - breaking into a house with the intent to commit theft - is more accurately classified as a burglary, not robbery.
Trivia: Many people are familiar with the "Stockholm Syndrome" wherein hostages or kidnapping victims develop a connection with their offenders - they identify with or feel empathy for the people holding them captive. The "Stockholm Syndrome" is also known as "capture bonding." Its lesser-known opposite (or inverse) is called the "Lima Syndrome" - the hostage-takers or kidnappers start identifying with or "feeling for" their victims; they bond. This movie portrays BOTH, but with a different crime.
