KeyZOid

Stupidity: Throughout the movie, the Virtuoso did many things that were contrary to being a shadow and not leaving any evidence of his presence. For example, he often wore gloves, but not when picking up a knife in Rosie's kitchen. Each time he went into the motel office, he interacted with the clerk and called attention to himself by asking for coffee but leaving before the clerk returned. He fell for the Waitress' advances, met her after the restaurant closed, and let her come into his motel room.

KeyZOid

Other mistake: When the (impostor) Sheriff came into Rosie's Cafe, the Waitress said, "Deputy Myers" and asked him how he was doing. The Sheriff asked about (Aunt) Rosie, who the Waitress said went home sick. The Waitress offered the Sheriff some pastries and was talking to him for a while. (The conversation was not disclosed at that time.) The Waitress didn't give any indication that she did not know the Sheriff, but the Virtuoso later asked her how she couldn't know the Sheriff in such a small area. (00:34:01)

KeyZOid

Stupidity: After killing the real Deputy, the impostor Deputy put him in the trunk of his vehicle and left three bloody finger images near the truck's lock. Even a novice criminal would know to wipe off obvious blood from a murder.

KeyZOid

Stupidity: When formulating his plan to kill the CEO, the Virtuoso posted "lost dog" signs on poles within the area he was going to shoot. When finished, he looked up and across the street to the window from which he was going to shoot. Instead of being "a shadow", the Virtuoso put himself at the crime scene the day before, looking quite suspicious. If/when police looked for surveillance camera footage, the Virtuoso's behavior would be quite obvious. (00:10:23)

KeyZOid

Stupidity: After Roy escaped from the factory, he encountered a metal garage-door-type gate that was open at the bottom to the height of his knees. Trying to sneak away and in obvious pain from his injuries, it would have been quicker, quieter, and probably less painful if he crawled through the opening. Instead, Roy pulled downward on the chains, making a lot of noise, and it didn't even get the gate halfway up before he bent over to get out. The gate went up more after he stopped pulling on the chain. (01:15:29)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: When young Tiffany is eating ice cream at a restaurant, the amount of ice cream left in the clear glass bowl increases after she eats more. The ice cream in the bowl starts out being about half-full, goes down to less than one-fourth, and returns to about half-full again. (01:02:47 - 01:03:19)

KeyZOid

Trivia: Miles has a pink ribbon (international breast cancer awareness symbol) emblem on his motocross uniform, suggesting his mother died of breast cancer (a couple years ago).

KeyZOid

Other mistake: Miles, a 17 - or 18-year-old whose "grades were trash", may have been able to fix his motorcycle, but it seems highly unlikely that he would be able to fix (a few times) a highly advanced robotic dog like A-X-L. [A-X-L was able to self-correct certain things.].

KeyZOid

Factual error: The Deputy's identification had "State of Pennsylvania" written on it. Pennsylvania is, of course, a state, but most (if not all) official/ legal documents are marked "Commonwealth of Pennsylvania." (01:17:05)

KeyZOid

Other mistake: The Virtuoso kept a large bag (50#?) of dog food outside near the front door of his cabin. The Waitress put another bag beside the first one. Especially in the woods, food should not be stored outside - wild animals would quickly smell and devour it (if mice/rats did not get to it first).

KeyZOid

Factual error: The Sheriff's car had "POLICE" written across the rear end, but with the exception of Allegheny County, deputies in Pennsylvania do not have police powers. They are County employees who carry out court orders (e.g, serving warrants and subpoenas) and work in court houses keeping order. They also transport prisoners and issue gun permits. It would be atypical for a Deputy sheriff to do routine patrol like Deputy Myers was doing. The sheriff's car should have had "municipal" or government plates. (01:16:18)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: The Mentor slid a folded piece of paper across the desk to the Waitress; the crease was to her left. When the Waitress picked up the paper, the crease was facing her and the note opened toward the Mentor. (01:38:31)

KeyZOid

Plot hole: After the Sheriff crashed into a tree, the Virtuoso passed him up but returned. The Virtuoso asked the Sheriff if he knew "White Rivers" and the Sheriff responded, "Yeah, I know it." The Virtuoso then shot at the Sheriff who was a few feet away and hit him in the neck. The Sheriff was able to run away. Instead of the Virtuoso quickly shooting again, he watched the Sheriff run into the woods and chased him. Despite being "experts", each made numerous shots that missed the other. (01:21:37 - 01:23:29)

KeyZOid

Stupidity: The Virtuoso was given very limited information - that he should go to Rosie's at 5:00 PM. While there, he thought "Something's not right" and "Without the Deputy, you [the Virtuoso] could complete the assignment. The outcome would look like a robbery gone wrong." Still unsure, he decides to "give it more time", watches the vehicles leaving Rosie's, rightfully assumes the Loner will go to the motel and follows him. BUT the Sheriff left first, meaning he could have gone back to finish the hit. (00:35:25)

KeyZOid

Other mistake: After entering Rosie's Cafe, the Virtuoso, narrating, says, "You pick a seat that lets you keep an eye on both men but leaves your back vulnerable." He then sits at a table in the far corner with only a lamp on a small stand/desk behind him. The Virtuoso's back would be INvulnerable, and he should not want to sit anywhere that makes him "vulnerable." (00:31:50)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: A pickup truck, brown/tan car, and a gray car (in that order) are parked facing the front of Rosie's Cafe when the Virtuoso arrives. The Virtuoso parks perpendicular to the vehicles (but different angles are shown) and it looks like his car would be blocking the others - the front driver's side bumper is close to the brown car's rear bumper. The pickup truck is NOT there. When the Virtuoso gets out of his car, it is further back (away from the brown car's bumper) and the truck IS there. (00:29:56)

KeyZOid

Factual error: Waiting in his car to see if the "impostor" sheriff will leave the farmhouse, the Virtuoso looks into the passenger side mirror and is able to see the truck, car, and sheriff's car parked alongside the front porch. Even if the mirror were turned out as far as possible, it would not be able to capture the vehicles as shown. At most, the other part of the house and/or the side of the stable would be visible using the mirror. (01:18:22 - 01:19:04)

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: When the Virtuoso returns to his car parked behind the stable, it is once again not how he parked it. The passenger side is no longer aligned with the inner side of the white support beam - it extends slightly beyond the outer side of the beam, and the passenger side mirror is entirely outside of the beam's edge. (01:18:21)

KeyZOid

Stupidity: After suturing the woman's gunshot wound in the barn, the Virtuoso finds a space heater. He sets the space heater on top of a low stand of some kind and then uses an extension cord to plug it in - two things that should NOT be done when using a space heater. Also, there is sound as though the space heater is running, but there is no change in color (coils turning red) that would indicate it is on and heating. (01:12:44 - 01:13:06)

KeyZOid

Character mistake: The woman who was shot in the farmhouse fled to the barn and apparently collapsed. The Virtuoso found her and - instead of adhering to his "do not get distracted" rule and acknowledging there will be "collateral damage" - he takes the time to find materials and suture her wound with fishing equipment. His "mission" is not complete and he still does not know who "White Rivers" is. (01:11:05)
