• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): While Jack is figuring out how he will get the bank codes from the computers at work, he asks to use his daughter's iPod to hold the file names. He says "10,000 songs, 10,000 bank codes. It doesn't know the difference". However, the iPod that he is using is a pink iPod mini which only holds 1,000 songs.

• Continuity: When Jack exits the elevator at the beginning of the movie, we see what he sees through the pen's camera. We see a Dell USB keyboard attached to a computer.

• Continuity: When Jack Stanfield is in the process of sending the money he robbed to Cox at the wire transfer terminal, he secretly uses Bobby's cell phone to take a picture of Cox's account numbers. When the camera gets up-close to the cell phone, Jack's fingernails are short... quite short. But minutes later, when Jack inserts the virus disc into his office computer's optical drive, his fingernails are at least 3 mm longer.
  
  
• Continuity: Jack's message is heard on Harry's answering machine before Beth's message, but Beth supposedly called Harry and left a message first, so Beth's message should have been heard before Jack's.
  
  
• Factual errors: When Jack goes to the bank at Seatac Airport to authorize the "reverse" wire transfers he would not be able to authorize a "reverse" wire from the bank where he was at. Only the bank where the funds originated can authorize a wire transfer to another institution. Secondly wire transfers do not happen instantaneously as depicted. They have to go through the Federal Reserve. It was late at night in this scene and the Federal Reserve closes at 6 p.m. EST. In Seattle that means that any wire originated after 3 P.M. would not have taken place until the next business day and even then could have taken up to 2 hours.
  
  
• Errori geografici: The address on the account for the dog's tracking collar shows a Medina, WA address. The only body of water that Medina, WA is next to is Lake Washington. The house that is filmed throughout the movie is clearly shown on the edge of tidal waters indicating that it is not a Lake Washington waterfront home but next to the ocean (or Puget Sound).
  
  
• Audio/video fuori sincrono: When Jack starts his secretary's car, his left hand is on the steering wheel while his right hand appears to remain on the center console, somewhere around where the emergency brake or gearshift would be on a car with a standard transmission.
  
  
• Audio/video fuori sincrono: When Jack's in the cabin, he crashes through a window covered with plastic. The sound of shattering glass is clearly heard, however if you look at the window after he's gone through it there is only the plastic, there is no glass.
  
  

• Continuity: SPOILER: When Jack enlists the help of Janet the secretary try to find his family, they "Push-Start" her car and Jack tells her to "pop the clutch." Later, after Jack drops Janet off by the roadside and tells her to call the police, he takes the car toward the lake house. When he stops there, we hear the sound effect of an automatic transmission shifter being moved quickly from "drive" to "park."
  
  
• Continuity: SPOILER: When Janet calls 911 after Jack and her have tracked down Cox and Jack's missing family, Janet is using a cell-phone. There are only three beeps, which in reality, should be four, because not only did Janet dial 911 (three digits,) but she would also have to press the green button for the phone to dial, which usually makes another beeping noise.
  
  
• Factual errors: SPOILER: When displaying some console screens, there are quite often extra spaces in the commands. For example, when the display shows Jack mounting the bank transfer CD, the command "mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom -t iso9660" has become "mount /dev /cdrom /mnt /cdrom -t iso9660". The command to run the bank transfer also has these extra spaces "/mnt /cdrom / script".
  
  
• Continuity: SPOILER: When Sarah, Beth and Andy Stanfield flee the lakehouse as Jack kills Pim and Cox, their hands are still bound behind them. After Cox dies, they return and are unbound with no explanation. It is later established that they did not meet Janet during this time.
