Continuity mistake: Tuck and FDR are in the Collin's office at the start being debriefed. Tuck is leaning his face on his hand and he's slumped in his chair (after he says "shutting up right now"). When it cuts to a side shot, his hand is on his lap and he's sitting up straight. (00:06:05)

Continuity mistake: Near the end of the film Lauren calls Tuck and asks him to meet her at the restaurant. Tuck says to FDR "got to go, mate" and shuts the screen to his laptop and walks away. The long shot shows the screen to the laptop open.

Continuity mistake: When both cars go off the bridge there's an over head shot of the smoke and Tuck, FDR and Lauren have disappeared - they would've been either side of the bridge, also we can see through the smoke.

Continuity mistake: When Tuck and FDR are fighting in the restaurant, they both go over the balcony and the stunt man on the right is going to miss the table on landing. Cut to ground level and both stunt men land on the table.

Continuity mistake: FDR is 'darted' to send him to sleep and, with the camera at the window end, his head lies straight on the sofa. Next camera angle is from the other end of the apartment and FDR's head is facing the camera. Then the next shot from the window is again showing his head lying back on the sofa.

Question: I've never understood at the end when Tuck and his ex are walking in slo-mo, he puts his hand on the small of her back and she reacts to that. It then shows him confused and he looks down at his hand. Why? What was that all about?

MindyLeDuc

Chosen answer: I would think that she was leaving the impression that while she was interested in reconciling with Tuck, it wasn't going to be an overnight thing.They were going to have to take it slowly.
