Early in the film, Sarchie's arm is slashed by Jimmy in an encounter, suffering a deep gash that it is stated will require stitches. In the very next scene at the Bronx Zoo, the wound is not visible. Immediately following, we see him at home and the arm is bandaged.
(at around 18 mins) and (at around 1h 8 mins) The same man(black t-shirt, shorts, short hair) walks in front of the police station and the same cop car drives by. Clearly the scene was re-used.
The typefaces in CCTV shots are the same throughout the movie. Although possible, that's extremely unlikely to happen, as are shown recordings from the military, from the zoo and from NYPD.
The movie takes place in 2013 in New York (mostly the Bronx). In one scene Mendoza is smoking a cigarette in the FDNY Bar. New York passed a clean air act that eliminated smoking in all bars in 2003. While a few establishments may turn a blind eye - it is highly unlikely a bar that caters to police and fire fighters would.
The fish that are in Sarchie's aquarium comprise of at least 5 male Betta fish, also known as Siamese fighting fish. Male Betta are not only highly aggressive but also territorial and should never be kept in the same aquarium as other male Betta or they will kill each other. He's lucky to have any fish left.
At 1:13:45 Officer Sarchie and Fr. Mendoza are in the car. The Word "Sanctuary" along with the symbol for a door is on Sarchie's window. Then after camera returns from Mendoza it is not there.
Fr Mendoza, while drinking whisky, tells Sarchie he's "NA, not AA", but addiction recovery doesn't work like that. Perhaps there are recovery courses that sanction alcohol consumption, but NA is certainly not among them.
One of the strongest principles of NA is that the addict has to avoid ALL addictive substances, of which alcohol is a principal or "gateway" drug - avoiding even non-alcohol or "virgin" cocktails because they mimic the lifestyle associated with substance abuse. NA members count sobriety as time without ANY drugs or alcohol, and one sip of an alcoholic beverage resets the counter back to zero days.
