      The "Sheriff's Dept." shoulder patches on Norm's uniform show the state of Texas, but all license plates (and even a map) show that the movie takes place in Missouri.

    Good film, puzzling continuity
    I enjoyed the movie. Decent plot, capable acting, a fine supporting role for Ted Levine. I did notice some discrepancies however that bothered me throughout. I watched it on TV where the brief synopsis said "in a small Montana town ...", so I was surprised that the license plate of a long-residing character was from Missouri. Also, the deputy's shoulder patch clearly has the outline of Texas on it. Why not Montana? Or Missouri? The ending credits say the film was shot in Louisiana. Where was the continuity person?
