Directed by: Martin Campbell
Starring: Mel Gibson, Ray Winstone, Danny Huston, Bojana Novakovic
Corrected entry: Throughout the movie, Mel Gibson uses a New York accent. His character is supposed to be a native Bostonian.
Corrected entry: When Thomas Craven (Gibson) pulls up to Northmoor, he asks for "John" Bennett, but Danny Huston's character introduces himself as Jack Bennett only moments later. The character is in fact Jack Bennett. (00:37:15)
Correction: Jack is a nickname for John, like Bill for William or Bob for Robert, etc.
Continuity mistake: In the scene after Craven talks to the Senator, the vehicles beside his police vehicle change from the shot showing him enter the car to the next angle showing his car leave its spot.
Thomas Craven: You had better decide whether you're hangin' on the cross... Or bangin' in the nails.
Question: How and when did Thomas Craven get poisoned? He was already sick before he got tasered, kidnapped and taken to the Northmoor facility.
Chosen answer: Possibly from getting his daughter's blood on him, when he accepted a drink from the Northmoor executive, or from handling his daughter's radioactive belongings. Given the depth of the coverup, they may have even anticipated that she'd come to him and broken into his house and poisoned him before the story even began.
The father and daughter died of air exposure. We know the three people died instantly via radiation steam. If the daughter ingested the radiation, then the radiation would only end up as the hair grew. In this case, the length of hair was very long, so she had to have ingested the radiation for a long time. Not to mention her hair would have fallen off. Since her hair was healthy and radiation detected whole hair, she was exposed to radioactive dust. The milk was there for backup, and it was full.
Correction: Not so - I think whoever wrote this is not sure of either accent, but it sounds good enough to me.
