Stupidity: The end fell apart. It took convincing to get the police at the picnic area; however, while Jack was cracking up, they just left alone with his gun. After the stakeout was a bust, why didn't the police just question the girl: "Who told you to come here? Who was to meet you here?" Also, they police see a smashed black station-wagon. Was there no connection to the previous child's drawing?

1 stupidity
Directed by: Sean Penn
Starring: Jack Nicholson, Benicio Del Toro, Patricia Clarkson, Robin Wright Penn, Dale Dickey, Beau Daniels
Continuity mistake: When Jack Nicholson is driving his truck through the field in a rush to get to the church to save the little girl, you see the truck bouncing through the bumps. In some scenes, the truck has crash bars in the front, then they disappear, and reappear again.
Stan Krolak: There is no Wizard, Jerry.
Jerry Black: You don't know what the fuck you are dealing with! The Wizard is real and I know it.
