details

• Factual errors: The Boston Police patches feature a drawing of what appears to be either Fanueil Hall or the Old State House; in reality the patches feature a drawing of City Hall.
  
  
• Factual errors: The badges the Massachusetts State troopers wear are the generic badges with interchangeable city seals that are issued to the police departments of Massachusetts towns.
  
  
• Errors in geography: The inspection stickers on the vehicles have a "0" before the number of month of which they are inspected. In Massachusetts, they do not.
  
  

• Revealing mistakes: When Patrick and Angie are driving Helene in their Buick the rear-view mirror is missing in scenes inside the car. The mirror is in place in later scenes outside the car.
  
  
• Continuity: When Patrick, Angie and Helene McCready are driving in a car, they don't have their seat belts fastened. Then for a moment Patrick has it, and then again he doesn't.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the article "Cop Father of Slain Child Vows: 'Never Again,'" the byline credits the newspaper as "The Bosotn Globe."
  
  
• Continuity: When Remy and Patrick are drinking rum out of a bottle, Remy screws the lid back on the bottle multiple times, but we never see or hear him remove the lid.
  
  
• Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Patrick says "Quincy (quin-cee) quarries" - people in Boston pronounce it "Quin-zee"
  
  

• Continuity: SPOILER: Patrick is in Helene's home starring at the framed Boston Herald's front page titled "Amanda Comes Home". At first glimpse of the Herald, the Boston Red Sox logo is on the upper right portion of the paper. Later it is seen with the Boston Bruins logo.
