Revealing mistake: When Daniel (the locksmith) goes home, the lamp next to his daughter's bed is on. After he finally tucks her in, he puts his finger on the light switch on the wall, but it is already in the "off" position. He doesn't flip the switch in either direction, but you hear an audible click, and the lights go out as if the lamp was controlled by the switch. (00:30:02)

1 revealing mistake
Directed by: Paul Haggis
Starring: Sandra Bullock, Don Cheadle, Thandie Newton, Dato Bakhtadze, Karina Arroyave
Visible crew/equipment: In the beginning of the scene where Sandra Bullock is lying in bed talking to her maid, you can see the shadow of the boom on the pillow. It is not there very long, the shadow moves out of the scene quickly, but long enough to notice.
Ria: Graham, I think we got rear ended. I think we spun around twice, and somewhere in there, one of us lost our frame of reference. And I'm going to look for it.
Trivia: Despite receiving top billing, Sandra Bullock has only six minutes of screen time.

Chosen answer: Since he was directly involved with the investigation, to identify the body would have been a conflict of interest. Therefore he had to notify the next of kin beyond himself.
