Rent-a-Groom picture

Continuity mistake: "Gramms" (Maggie Westmoreland) lifts her cup of coffee using both hands and takes a sip. By the time she lowers her cup to the table, her glass of water goes from over half-full to less than half-full. Nobody refills the glass, but it is back to over half-full. Thereafter, the level of water in the glass alternates after almost every view of Tracey. (00:02:05)

The paper Parker pushes across the table is not there and Tony's laptop is closer to the clipboard. The empty wine bottles and book are in different positions. (00:03:42)

Continuity mistake: Alberto and Alan are walking along a flat road between rows of houses. Alan looks up the road to see where his father "disappears to" and the road ahead is composed of arches along an upgrade. Alan continues running, but not very far, and suddenly there are grades in front and back of him, but the road is flat in the distant (somewhat aerial) view. After Alan runs a little further, the road behind him is arched again. The topography changes too fast and frequently. (00:06:00 - 00:06:50)

The Bricklayer picture

Plot hole: Kate suspects Vail, searches his bag and finds receipts for two burner phones. She holds him at gunpoint and finds the burner phone in his pocket! So, what we have here is a veteran CIA agent who discards neither his "burner" phones nor their receipts! Does he even know the meaning of the word "burner"? Does anyone involved in the making of this film know?
