KeyZOid

Plot hole: Charles was a con man, going up the east coast (Florida and North Carolina) offering to do cheap storm repairs, taking the 50% cash down-payment and moving on (fleeing to the next location). As such, he would try to stay away from police/law enforcement officers and not call attention to himself. Filing (bogus) criminal complaints against Peter put Charles in direct contact with the police - a very risky and stupid move on his part.

Stupidity: Peter and Amanda were wealthy enough to buy the 11th floor penthouse for $579,000 but had no security cameras. Also, Det. Martinez never thought to check surveillance cameras outside the Wright's penthouse; surely cameras were around and/or the Detective could have questioned neighbors if anyone saw Charles near the penthouses or with the Wright's dog Humphrey. Peter or the detective could have gone near Charles' boat without a warrant and called Humphrey to see if the dog barked in response.

Audio problem: When Charles knocked on the man's door to offer storm repairs, the sounds didn't match; they were slightly delayed, with the last knocking sound coming after Charles stopped knocking and lowered his hand.

Deliberate mistake: A shot of the pile of ashes from the fire wherein Cassie's body was essentially cremated showed Nina's half of the broken heart necklace sticking out ABOVE the ashes, which would be impossible. Also, a metal charm on a chain that was around Cassie's neck would not survive the huge fire or be totally clean and unscathed.

Trivia: The cuckoo bird was used at the beginning of the movie to point out what a parasitic bird does - secretly lays eggs in the nest of another bird species and leaves them for the different species to raise as their own. Another "brood parasite" that many people might be more familiar with is the Brown-headed cowbird. If all goes as intended, the different species, such as a Cardinal, will take care of the eggs until they hatch and continue feeding fledgings. Sometimes, "alien" eggs are evicted.

Other mistake: Aerial views of Yonder gave the impression that a basic grid pattern was used - parallel horizontal and parallel vertical lines that form right angles; yards were of equal area, either a square or rectangular lot. [However, some of the views from the couple's car as they were trying to find the exit showed some slightly curved roads that didn't fit the grid.] Following the sun as a way out, the couple was jumping over fence after fence - but they could've simply walked along perpendicular roads.

KeyZOid

Trivia: Based on (more like "inspired by") the real-life story of Nicole Teague who died of ovarian and abdominal cancer at age 34. The characteristics and role of friend "Dane" were quite altered in the movie.

KeyZOid

Other mistake: Nicole was standing up holding a round cake with both hands and was able to tilt the cake down about 45° to show others the top without the cake sliding off the plate - or any icing shifting.

Trivia: Movie was released in the UK under the title "LA Vengeance" (2017).

Trivia: Many people are familiar with the "Stockholm Syndrome" wherein hostages or kidnapping victims develop a connection with their offenders - they identify with or feel empathy for the people holding them captive. The "Stockholm Syndrome" is also known as "capture bonding." Its lesser-known opposite (or inverse) is called the "Lima Syndrome" - the hostage-takers or kidnappers start identifying with or "feeling for" their victims; they bond. This movie portrays BOTH, but with a different crime.

Other mistake: When Hamby was pushing Joey into the hole, he shoved him with his left hand near the middle of Joey's upper chest. Joey was falling backwards, as would be expected, but his feet "somehow" landed on the outer edge of the hole that was about 2' behind him and he "somehow" started falling upright, landing on his feet at the bottom of the hole. The way he was pushed and his proximity to the hole should have resulted in Joey's upper body landing on the opposite of the hole - and not falling in.

KeyZOid

Revealing mistake: From above, the hole did not look very large (maybe 3' in diameter); it was about 20' deep. It was obvious various modifications had to be made to film in a way that would enable Hamby to be visible. Sometimes, the "sides" looked flat, not like a tunnel or long tube. In front views of Hamby, the diameter was increased, giving him more room to move. When Joey was talking to Hamby, a shot from Hamby's perspective just showed Joey's face as though it were setting directly on the edge (or grass).

KeyZOid

Character mistake: The prescribing doctor or a nurse should have given Matt/Joey's mom instructions on the proper use of an oxygen mask, but she did not demonstrate this. She picked up the mask, put it over her nose/mouth, and immediately inhaled ONCE followed by removing the mask. About a minute later, she repeated these ineffective steps. Instead of inhaling the oxygen, she was most likely simply inhaling "regular air" in the room - she did not keep the mask on long enough to enable release of oxygen.

KeyZOid

Factual error: Hamby apparently spent three nights in the hole. There were snow flurries and a coating of snow on the ground each day but it reached 43° F on day 2; overnight temperatures are typically 20-30° colder than daytime temperatures. Joey brought Hamby a sleeping bag the second night. The next day, Joey told Hamby he'd bring him some blankets, and Hamby pointed out that his sleeping bag was "wet already." This prolonged exposure to cold weather was enough to cause hypothermia but Hamby was fine.

KeyZOid

Stupidity: Matt told Joey they could not check on the guard in the hole because they had committed the "perfect crime" but could get caught if the guard got out. Matt later told his friend Tom "everything" about stealing from Ms. Dillard. Bragging about what they did is certainly no way to help ensure they would not get caught.

KeyZOid

Revealing mistake: Initially, the gallon plastic water bottle Joey was bringing to Hamby looked almost full. However, the ease at which he raised it into the air (by his head), "hollow" sound made when Matt took it from him, and the way it tilted to the side when being dropped down the hole are indications that the water (and its weight) had been removed for most of the scene. When Joey dropped a plastic bag containing a bologna sandwich, chips, and a soda pop down the hole, it went straight down without tilting.

KeyZOid

Continuity mistake: Running away from the guard after the burglary, Joey and Matt went down a fairly steep hill in the woods. After passing the hole, they walked up a small embankment to go toward home. The next morning, Joey is riding his bike down a steep hill (the one that was before the hole?) - so steep he has to get off his bike and push it. Halfway down, the camera shifts and Joey is suddenly on TOP of a small embankment, which appears to be the one he and Matt walked up the day before on their way home.

KeyZOid

Other mistake: Matt told Joey that they could not go back to see if the guard was OK in the hole because as soon as Ms. Dillard gets home she will know she was robbed and will call the police. Joey's act - breaking into a house with the intent to commit theft - is more accurately classified as a burglary, not robbery.

KeyZOid

Stupidity: Shortly after leaving the man in the hole, Joey met Matt at the top of the embankment and told him he lost the gas mask. Instead of backtracking (not very far) and trying to find the mask (fingerprints on it could be evidence against him), Matt tells Joey that he owes him "30 bucks."

KeyZOid

Factual error: The manner in which "Hamby" fell into the hole (or well) did not reflect physics or reality. He was running/chasing Joey and Matt. Whenever one walks or runs, one's feet are never straight down together (like standing), so only one foot could have been over the hole or failed to clear it. Hamby should have tripped and fallen over (face forward) with his upper body landing past the hole. This should have kept him from falling straight down into the hole (as if dropped from above the hole).
