Red (2010)

★★★★☆

Starring: Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, Karl Urban, Mary-Louise Parker

Character mistake: When Victoria is blasting away at the VPs limo, the security truck should block the limo from the machine gun. They just pull up behind it even though that vehicle is specifically in the motorcade to carry agents and to block threats even though it is usually not an armored vehicle.

Suggested correction: If the truck isn't armoured, it would offer next to no extra protection against such a powerful gun at the price of having a potential escape vehicle destroyed and all agents inside (which could help fight the threat) killed or seriously injured. So what they do seems reasonable.

Mistakes

Character mistake: In the scene where Bruce Willis, Mary-Louise Parker, and John Malkovich are having lunch outside on a river in New Orleans, right after Mary-Louise Parker gets off the pay-phone, John Malkovich reads off the tail number of a helicopter flying over as "N9745C", even though the number is visible as "N9748C". A few minutes later, when the three are talking to James Rema in Mobile, in the airport control tower, they see the helicopter (again, visible as "N9748C"), only this time, John Malkovich correctly identifies it as "N9748C". (00:36:45 - 00:40:00)

Questions

Question: Why is Marvin wearing a plastic sheet over his suit in the scene where he, Frank and Joe are interrogating Alexander Dunning? (01:04:15)

Chosen answer: Intimidation. The implication is that he's going to be spilling Dunning's blood during the interrogation and doesn't want to get his suit dirty.
