Continuity mistake: In the fight with the thin man, after Natalie hits him Dylan already has her leg lifted to hit him but Alex doesn't. In the next shot they lift and hit at the same time. (00:25:20)
Factual error: Assuming that the Agency is in LA, possibly Beverly Hills, it would take 5 hours to get to Carmel. From Carmel to get to Paradise Cove (where Charlie is located) it would take another 5 hours. Paradise Cove is south in Malibu, not north (as Alex claims).
