Corrected entry: In the first scene, where Sonny Black and his crew are at a bar sitting around a table, they're arguing about cars. Lefty repeats that one car has more power than the other. When he repeats that, Paulie says "You just said that". The problem is Paulie began to say that right before Lefty finished saying that the car had more power. In this context, Paulie would need enough time to hear what Lefty said, register it in his brain and then respond. This shows that "Paulie" jumped the gun and began his line too early to be believable.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Sonny Black's crew is about to carve up Sonny Red's crew, Nicky grabs Donnie by the arm to help him cut up the fat guy. As he's walking towards the fat guy's body, Nicky says "Help me fillet this fat f**k". Right there he looks directly at the camera and then looks away quickly.
Correction: The character just happened to look at the same direction in which the scene is being filmed. He didn't acknowledge the camera in any way.
Correction: The human brain can process a simple piece of information like a repeated statement virtually instantaneously. There would be no pause at all. And as soon as Lefty starts saying the same thing, it is very possible, if not probable, that Paulie knew what he was going to say. Perhaps they have had this conversation before and Lefty ALWAYS says this. Paulie would not need to hear the end of the sentence. This is in no way a mistake.
