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)

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)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Summerville stands and walks away, Stephanie tells him his theory does not hold water; her hair suddenly is combed behind her shoulders, as opposed to the front as earlier. And a few cuts later, when she praises the quality of the local heroin, she puts her hands on her hips, but is shown with her arms open in foreground at the cut. (00:52:25)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Detective Summerville asks Stephanie how is Sean's grief, Anna Kendrick's hand keeps changing position at every cut; two fingers under her chin, one, two again and in the same shot lowered to her breast, back under chin again. (00:51:05)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: In the close-up of Sean's phone when the police calls, the time on the top of the screen is 11 AM. When barely 20 seconds later he is telling Stephanie that he's going to Michigan, the screen of his phone is lit and the time is 2:42. The phone also changed hands in the revealing cut. (00:39:50)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When the phone rings with the call about Emily being found, in close-up the phone is very close to the wicker basket, in the wider shot there's a big distance to allow Henry Golding to put down his glass in between phone and basket. (00:39:50)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: After the report on the Kia, Sean receives a call from the Warfield police department. Sean is a professor in Connecticut, but his mobile carrier as shown in the close-up of the phone is Rogers, a Canadian company. The film was shot in Ontario. (00:39:50)

Sammo ★

Revealing mistake: The protagonist broadcasts the description of Emily's car in her vlog. She then receives a mail from a mom in Michigan...or does she? Seems not, because if you look at the window of the mail open in Safari, she is on the Compose tab, not in the Inbox, with a Send message and format and style buttons at the bottom (and she is not replying to the message because the 'from' field is a "michiganmom381" gmail account. (00:39:20)

Sammo ★

Factual error: Detective Summerville tells Sean that his wife got a rental Kia from Budget paying in cash. But Budget does not allow the initial cost to be paid in cash; the payment must come from credit or debit card, cash can be used only as the last payment when you return the car. (00:37:30)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: When Stephanie sets the bottle in the wine cooler as the detective arrives, the label with the name of the wine in italics faces the camera. When she walks off and when the detective looks at the table with the close-up, the back label is the one facing the camera. (00:37:00)

Sammo ★

Other mistake: Bashir Salahuddin appears in the ending credits of the Italian localization as "Detective Summervile" with one L. It's a spelling mistake that appears also on IMDB, so one wonders if the localization team lifted name from the website, or if the theatrical version had the spelling mistake and was fixed afterwards.

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the scene inside the Dennis Nylon mansion, Emily is wearing her bag on the left shoulder. She sneaks her way inside the "employees only" area, loses her cover (the guy bringing clothes upstairs), still with the bag looking the same, but the moment she enters Emily's office in a rush, she is wearing her bag across the chest, right shoulder strap, bag on the left side. (00:34:00)

Sammo ★

Continuity mistake: Inside Emily's office upstairs, Stephanie ducks under the desk when someone walks by. The floor is fully in the dark, and yet when she crawls to the drawers she tries to pick the lock of, there are distinct sunlit areas all of a sudden. (00:34:15)
