Other mistake: The first time the cops come to the house, Connie and her son see them from the upstairs window, and start walking downstairs. It then cuts to the cops in the living room looking around, and Connie walks in and introduces herself. Her husband is not home, so did the cops just walk into in the house without knocking?
Unfaithful (2002)
Plot summary
Directed by: Adrian Lyne
Starring: Richard Gere, Diane Lane, Olivier Martinez, Erik Per Sullivan
Diane Lane is a housewife, married to Richard Gere. Both share a son and an interesting life. However, she is mostly concerned with the domestic end of their relationship and they both are getting complacent to the point of boredom. One windy day in Soho, she is blown by the wind against a handsome young man who asks her upto his apartment so that she can clean up her bruises/scratches. Instead of refusing, she goes up with him and they end up having an affair. They continue to have an affair until the husband, who begins to suspect something is up, hires a detective to follow his wife. He then becomes aware of her affair while she doesn't know of his knowledge.

Suggested correction: I'm pretty sure the housekeeper let them in if you listen carefully.
Connie Sumner: Edward... did you hurt him? You did, didn't you? Jesus, Edward. Talk to me. Tell me what you did.
Edward Sumner: No. You tell me what you did.
Question: In the final scene of the film Richard Gere and Diane Lane have their SUV stopped at a traffic light, and I've noticed that there's a police station directly to their right. This could have very well been a coincidence, but maybe it's not? Does anyone know if it signifies anything pertaining to the plot, for example, the dilemma of Richard Gere turning himself in vs. their decision to flee the country?
Answer: That's exactly what it is meant to portray. If I remember correctly, the SUV's left turn signal is on as well, which only reinforces that idea that they have a choice to make. Right, turn himself in, left, flee the country.
Nope, just watched it and there is no left turn signal.
Answer: The light stays green for a while, but the car never moves. Then it turns red. To me, that suggests that Edward realises he has to stop the insane world of commandment-breaking that he and Connie are living in. One of my favorite movie endings.
