Red (2010)

2 revealing mistakes - chronological order

★★★★☆

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

Revealing mistake: In Frank and Sarah's first conversation her headset is on mute, shown by the fact it's blinking red. (00:02:25)

Revealing mistake: Alexander Dunning tells Agent Cooper to handcuff Frank. After Cooper handcuffs Frank it then cuts to a close-up of Frank's hand, showing Cooper giving him the key to the handcuffs. In this shot, we can see that the cuffs aren't actually locked in. He obviously is supposed to have locked the cuffs since he gave Frank a key to unlock them - if he faked it, why the key? This is most noticeable when Frank clenches and lowers his hand after being given the key, giving away the loose cuff. (01:41:25)

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: How did Frank know where Cooper lives? (01:16:15)

Chosen answer: He's ex CIA and considered R.E.D. (Retired and Extremely Dangerous). This is not just because of his fighting skill, but because of his knowledge and access to resources and how to use them. He just broke into the CIA Headquarters as well and is a skilled agent from another era. It is easy to assume he used his resources and experience to find Cooper's family just by seeing Cooper's face. He would easily known how to find out his identity.
