Plot hole: When Edward meets with his PI, he hands him pictures of Connie and Paul that were taken the day before. In these pictures, there are also pictures of her coming out of Paul's apartment wearing jeans and a raincoat. The day Edward "went" to Chicago, was the same day she and Paul went to the movies. The next day, when Edward met with his PI to get the info, she hadn't seen Paul yet. And the day Edward hired the PI to follow his wife, she had already come and gone from Paul's wearing another black dress. The PI would only have time to see them on the day of the movie trip.

Unfaithful (2002)
1 plot hole
Directed by: Adrian Lyne
Starring: Diane Lane, Erik Per Sullivan, Olivier Martinez, Richard Gere
Other mistake: The first time the cops come to the house, Connie and her son see them from the upstairs window, and start walking downstairs. It then cuts to the cops in the living room looking around, and Connie walks in and introduces herself. Her husband is not home, so did the cops just walk into in the house without knocking?
Connie Sumner: Edward... did you hurt him? You did, didn't you? Jesus, Edward. Talk to me. Tell me what you did.
Edward Sumner: No. You tell me what you did.
Question: The final scene in the car at the red light in front of the Police station. They are discussing escaping to Mexico for the rest of their lives. They hold each other. The car doesn't move. Do they give themselves up to the police? Is that what the writer is implying?
Answer: Although Connie wanted them to go to Mexico and assume new identities, it is implied that Edward, who initially goes along with that idea, will likely turn himself into the police. However, there's no definitive ending given, so the audience is left to interpret the outcome.

An alternative ending was shot in which Edward says goodbye to Connie in the car and walks into the police station. The director discusses this on the commentary track. The alternate ending is on the DVD.
