• Factual errors: All modern guns are test fired at the factory after assembly, to ensure they fire accurately and function correctly. Even if said gun was never fired by the owner, there is no such thing as a gun that has "never been fired".
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: When Willy is called and told to appear at the arraignment at 3:00, which is "in 15 minutes," his watch clearly shows the time to be 12:40.
  
  
• Factual errors: By the expert's testimony in court we are informed that Ted Crawford's bullet pierced through the frontal cortex in the temporal lobe coming to rest upon the upper side of the brain against the skull. Yet when we see wife Jennifer's head hit the floor for a brief moment in a close-up, there is no injury visible at all. Furthermore in another scene Ted points to his left cheek bone when he describes where he shot his wife. Such an injury is very different from that described during the trial. The shot was fired at close range with a powerful .45, which makes it very unlikely that the bullet would come to rest within the skull.
  
  

• Factual errors: At the beginning of the movie when EMTs are working with Jennifer Crawford, they are heard saying "she has a pulse" and then administering chest compressions. According to BLS, when the patient has a palpable pulse, chest compressions are not administered.
  
  
• Errors in geography: When Willy Beachum is rushing to the hospital to serve the court order, he is shown clearly driving on the 10 freeway and then exiting to go to the hospital. The hospital is St. Mary's Medical Center in Long Beach which is nowhere near the 10 freeway.
  
  
• Continuity: Towards the end when Beachum calls on Crawford, Crawford looks in a security monitor. Under the monitor there is a security panel for an alarm system. When the shot changes, the panel is gone, then appears again.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: As Jennifer Crawford pulls into her driveway, she passes a sign that reads "Parking Lot Full", apparently referring to the Crawford's property.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: When the nurse removes the endotracheal tube from Ms. Crawford, you clearly see it was only long enough for the actress to bite down on it and missing several inches of tubing that should have gone down her trachea.
  
  
• Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In one scene, when Ryan Gosling's character is viewing the security video file on his MAC, he tries to zoom in to try to view the face of Anthony Hopkins's character. When he zooms in, the mouse pointer also gets magnified. Although the mouse pointer would not magnify if the application zooms into the image, the MAC OS also offers a 'zoom' that magnifies not just the screen, but the mouse pointer as well.
