Other mistake: When the Deputy Secretary of Homeland security is on TV at the airport while everyone is waiting out the flight delay, his title is spelled wrong, as "Deputy Secretary of Homeland Securty", on the TV screen. It is corrected on the change in the shot. (00:14:38)

Other mistake: After Lisa escapes from the plane, the flight attendant picks up a phone to alert Airport security. Instead of dialling a number for the intercom, the flight attendant just frantically mashes at the phone several times never actually hitting any phone buttons whatsoever. Evidently this actress believed with all of her heart that what she was doing looked like dialling numbers. (00:57:19)

Other mistake: The FL driver license of Lisa's dad has 327 Maryland Ave and not 9321 Blossom Palm lane. It's standard for the driver license to reference the actual residence address.

Suggested correction: Lisa's dad easily could have moved since the last time he updated his licence. He did, after all, divorce his wife three years before the events of the film.

Revealing mistake: When Lisa stabs Jackson in the throat with the pen, if you watch closely, you can see that she is still holding the pen when she pulls her arm back, but in the entire rest of the scene the pen is still stuck in his throat. If you watch it in slow motion, the mistake becomes even more obvious. (00:56:15)

Trivia: When in the plane's bathroom, in an early take Cillian Murphy threw Rachel McAdams so hard against the bathroom wall that he knocked her unconscious. If you look at the shot used in the movie where he throws her against the wall, you can see his hand in her hair protecting her head so he didn't hurt her again. Not a mistake, as he's not trying to knock her out in the film, just rough her up, but worth looking for.

Question: Is it actually revealed why Jackson wants Keefe dead? Did I miss something?

Answer: It's a political assassination plot. Jackson is an operative working for the terrorist organization that was hired to kill Keefe, the Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security. It's nothing personal or of interest to Jackson, just another job. He even mentioned to Lisa that it was only business when she asks why he's doing it.
