Continuity mistake: When Martin goes to meet Jean, it shows him get out of the car as Will stays. The camera focuses on the rear view mirror, showing Martin walk up to Jean and stop as they begin talking. The very next shot from outside the car shows Martin walking again, and then Jean begin talking as if for the first time.

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Will is wounded and riding on the back of a moped with Lucia, Jean steps out of her vehicle to try and shoot Will. At this time, she is wearing her black sunglasses as she points a pistol at Will. A Spanish cop steps in the way, and she can't take the shot. Her glasses are still on. In the next shot with her, she is watching them ride away and she looks disappointed, sunglasses still on. Shot cuts to Will and Lucia escaping, and then back to Jean. Jean is still in the same position with same look on her face, but suddenly she is not wearing her sunglasses. She shakes her head and says "Lucky" while putting on her sunglasses now, as if for the first time. (00:48:35)

Revealing mistake: In the scene after Will leaves the girl at the train station, the scene cuts to a downtown district. Many of the extras used for that scene are seen watching the scene being filmed. (00:57:00)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When Will is walking back from the town he has no bag in his hand, then when he gets to the beach he has one.

Continuity mistake: Lucia and Will are on a train. She leaves the train wearing a jacket, walks into he street and it has mysteriously vanished.

Other mistake: When Will is in the club and Lucia's friend is checking his wound she feels around to see if the bullet is still inside his body. She says the bullet is not there so cauterises the wound. Will does not have an exit wound so the bullet must, therefore, still be inside.

Continuity mistake: The Range Rover's right hand side door gets taken off completely, but a few seconds later a shot from inside the same car shows the door as intact. (01:20:05)

Continuity mistake: There are two cars driving side by side. The small Audi is initially on the left side of the Range Rover. In the next shot the Audi drives behind the Range Rover on its right side for 2 seconds and the next cut-scene, where the cars are colliding, the Audi is back again on the left side of the Range Rover. (01:20:40)

WaveR

Continuity mistake: The man working with Carrack escapes the club and smashes the window of a car. We hear the sound of glass dropping to the floor showing us the glass fell to the ground. But when the car drives off, there is no sign of any glass on the pavement. (01:09:10)

Casual Person

Jean Carrack: You're scared, and scared people holding guns in my face... That scares me.

Question: When Martin threw Will's phone out to sea in anger, was it just in anger about what happened? Or was it just an excuse to do so, like thinking his enemies would be tracking them via Will's phone?
