Stupidity: Stephanie empties Emily's large closet, but when she comes back with the movers, lo and behold, all of the dead person's belongings are back. They are back though exactly as they were with superhuman inch-perfect precision. Since this movie does not have a supernatural element, that appears really silly. (01:00:30)

Other mistake: Emily does not let people take her pictures, but she obviously has documents - she signed papers and has a driving license - and also has a husband quite fond of her who spends ages sucking face with her. With all that considered, nobody picks up on the obvious fact that her mole (which is in a position that would show in every mugshot) switched sides.

Continuity mistake: Emily removes from her outfit the jacket and the dickey and leaves them on the couch before she gets booze (for some reason in another room). The dickey lies on top of the jacket, untouched and yet obviously in different ways in the various shots - look at it the first time, with just a little part sticking out over the couch and down its back, and then look at it when Emily comes back, and how the jacket and dickey are practically parallel. (00:08:25)

Continuity mistake: When the villain runs away after shooting Sean, in close-up Sean is sporting a lot of blood that spreads quite a bit around the entry wound. When Stephanie runs after them, Sean's wound has just a single trickle. (01:49:10)

Continuity mistake: In the final confrontation between Stephanie and Emily, the shadows on the asphalt change radically (full sun to full shadow) during the sequence. (01:49:20)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: The vlog entry that leads to the finale is #47. Six months pass, the caption say, but in the finale Stephanie is posting her vlog #290. That's more than 40 entries per month, and Stephanie always keeps her entries daily throughout the movie even under the craziest circumstances.

Other mistake: Stephanie's vlog gains over 85,000 subscribers in the space of the minutes it takes for her to livestream from her home to Emily's house. While Youtube has had much larger sudden increases in followers, this is not Youtube, but a private blog that begins from 34,000 subscribers. It seems quite unlikely that even by word of mouth it could have the critical mass to grow by 200% in such a short time, considering that it reached those 30k with a murder story that had media coverage, and it takes then 6 months for her to hit 1 million afterwards, with the amazing scoop and juicy media story that follows. It should also be noted that her figures when she asks to identify the Kia are ridiculously low; she manages to find the same car the police can't find thanks to her channel that has a whopping 1,013 subscribers worldwide at the time.

Continuity mistake: After the police raid at Darren's, Emily is talking while she moves the gun around. During certain cuts ("manipulate the system", "I mean, sort of perfect", "f**king crazy, haven't you?") she has her gun tilted in opposite directions. (01:47:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When the SWAT team bursts into Darren's house, he puts his hands up, holds nothing, and yet somehow the packet of crisps appears on the table by him. (01:47:20)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Blake Lively's body double runs through the patch of woods towards the lake, the sole of her feet are entirely covered in dirt. When she jumps from the pier though, her feet are much cleaner. (01:33:35)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When she's having martinis on Emily's gravestone, when it's Hope's turn to serve them Stephanie walks around the tomb; the lemon twist is in a different spot of the glass between shots. (01:28:55)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: Stephanie is browsing on the library computer the copy of The Cherry Creek Observer. On the page at the right end of the screen you can see under a title about an assault, a copy-pasted article about autism. (01:20:20)

Sammo ★

Trivia: The protagonist browses the archives of local newspapers to research more into the fire of May 3rd 2003. The news at the very top right of the front page, by the title "Town treasurer celebrates his re-election after disputed elections" features a mugshot of the director of the movie, Paul Feig. (01:20:25)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Inside the McLanden residence, Stephanie sits in front of the mother and starts "Your daughter Faith..." Jean Smart 's hand is in front of her face, but it's in front of her chest at the cut. (01:16:55)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Stephanie holds the Squaw Lake shirt that Diana Hyland threw at her; she holds it in close-up with her hands well apart, stretching it. In the wider angles though she holds it with the hands closer and supporting it with her forearms. (01:12:25)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Diana Hyland kicks the box across the floor, she has nothing in her right hand, which is the hand that holds the bottle in the previous and following shot. (01:12:15)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: Stephanie receives a call just after she opened the envelope Nicky gave her, with the brother-f**ker picture. When she picks up the phone, not only it shows the Canadian provider Rogers, but also a time of 4:31 PM, when she just got back home with the kids (who don't do a full time, Sean mentioned 2 PM at the funeral as a time when Emily would drunk-rant at Nicky), plus she still finds Sean busy at work after that despite the city being one hour and a half away. (01:03:10)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: In the sequence with Steph's car spinning out of control once she inadvertently rushes the red light, her son Miles is screaming scared, but the baby actor is laughing. (01:02:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: During the conversation on the plane back from London, Emily's hair keep changing position depending on the camera angle. (00:57:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: At dinner in front of the very crunchy Caesar salad, Nicky says he saw his mom, and when contradicted drops an F bomb and storms off. Miles is putting his fork down at the F-U but in the next shot he's holding it nice and tall. (00:54:55)
