Visible crew/equipment: At 5:17pm, after Manny asks Wilee to bike ride with him in Central Park, Wilee is seen driving through traffic. There is one shot where he rides past a silver Ford. Behind the silver Ford is a taxi, and if you look carefully, you'll see a boom mic reflected on the car. It can't be a lamp post, because the item on top is too big and super fluffy to be a lamp post. This is only visible for a split second and visible just as the taxi becomes out of frame as the camera pans around Wilee. (00:07:45)

1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: David Koepp
Starring: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Michael Shannon, Dania Ramirez, Kym Perfetto, Sean Kennedy
Plot hole: Bobby confronts Wilee on the college campus to give him the envelope. Whilst the confrontation progresses, Wilee gets away from Bobby after distracting him by holding his sandwich by riding his bike off the college campus, onto the main road and never stops. During this ride, he drives past the gaps in several cars and taxis. Within a minute and a half, Bobby then manages to catch up with Wilee. There are two things wrong with the time it took Bobby to reach Wilee. First, there were loads of cars that we would had to have drove past in order to get to him. The problem with this is that Wilee managed to get past the cars using his bike to go through the gaps. Bobby had his car which meant he couldn't have possibly gotten through the gap making him reach Wilee in that amount of time. And second thing wrong with this is, even though Bobby knew where Wilee was taking the envelope too, he still didn't have any way to know the precise direction Wilee was going in to deliver the envelope.

Chosen answer: I think that sound is the front wheel giving way. If you look closely, you can see that his front wheel is wobbling a little as he escapes. This may be why he ditches his bike and steals the cop's bike soon after.
