Goofs

In the beginning you will see Moses is running the kids out of the rooms. As he passes the first boy's room, checkout the first boy, a blond in overalls. As he runs from the room, you can see him repeatedly looking to his right, at the camera, then as he starts to go down the stairs, instead of looking down the stairs (where he is going), he looks right, into the camera.
