Continuity: When Nick is yelling at Annie he is pointing with his left hand from the front shots. Then you see a shot from Nick's perspective of Annie and he is pointing with his right hand. Fact errors: The car hot wired outside the jewlery store is a Mercedes Benz with an ignition system that cannot be started in any way at all without the electronic key. This system is called DAS, Drive Authorization System. There is no way they could have started that car without the key to 'authorize' the starting of the vehicle. Continuity: SPOILER: When Nick is hit by the car on the night he "died", the car side-view mirror was not damaged. It was still attached to the car after Nick was hit. Later, the police find the mirror broken on the ground at the scene of the crime. SYNC: SPOILER: After the police question Annie on the rooftop, Nick throws her off. When you first start hearing screaming, her mouth isn't open until Nick's arms are moved out of the way. Continuity: When Nick was walking home from the party, he kicked over a big trash can and a trash bag. The big trash can landed in the middle of the street and rested on one of its handles. The very next close up shot of Nick, you can clearly see in the background that the trash bag and trash can are back on the curb. Revealing mistakes: When you see Pete looking at the ticket, you can see that the band-aid is on his right thumb, even though he was cut on his left thumb. CHAR: When Annie shoots Marcus her gun locks open due to it being her last bullet. Hard to believe anyone takes their gun to a gun battle with only one bullet in it, other then Barney Fife. PLOT: When the police are rushing to the dam, Detective Larsen asks Detective Tunney how long until the dam opens. She says 15 minutes. Yet, she waits until they are standing on the dam to use her cell phone to call to have the water shut off. DATE: The Kingdome (the old arena where the Seattle Mariners and Seahawks used to play) appears in a shot of the Seattle skyline. The Kingdome was destroyed in 2000, several years before the film was to have taken place. GEOG: During one of the scenes when the police are conducting a search with volunteers to look for Nick they say that the "the Burnaby Police..." this is where the movie was actually filmed, in Burnaby, British Columbia. But we are suppose to believe that we are in Washington State. |

Holy shit, I'm alive. Nick Powell: Should you be out here alone? Where are your parents? Victor Newton: They don't know I'm here. My sister was supposed to bring me. Nick Powell: But she didn't. Victor Newton: She died. Nick Powell: Do you think we should send her a message? Victor Newton: How? What should we say? Nick Powell: It's your message Victor Newton: Hey Annie. Nick Powell: Annie. I need you, Annie. Principal Whitcliff: Anybody wanna explain what happened? Nick Powell: She finds me irresistible? Annie Newton: Who's the broken one now? Nick Powell: You are. Still you. Annie Newton: What did you say? Nick Powell: Still you. Annie Newton: Did he eat at all tonight? Lindy Newton: [sighing, annoyed] Victor, you hungry? Victor Newton: No. [Lindy shoots Annie a look, Annie lunges at her] Annie Newton: You get off your bony ass and make him dinner!

Annie Newton: You're lying. Pete: Don't believe me. He didn't do it. I lied to save my own ass. He was supposed to be on a plane. You killed Nick for nothing. Nick Powell: I saw your face last night, Annie, and for a minute there I bet you would've traded places with me. Annie Newton: If anything happens to Victor I'll come back here and I'll kill you. Nick Powell: They're gonna catch you, Annie! Annie Newton: Never! Never... Nick Powell: She heard me. Nick Powell: I'm sick of your perfect life because it isn't perfect!

Nick Powell: You know what's funny about this whole thing? You're the only one that can save me. Isn't that messed up? Nick Powell: [reading poem for class] Day burns down to night, Burns the edge of my soul. In the night I break into sparks of suns And become fires in a dust of bones Night knifes My breath swallows whole my tongue Turn back Reverse return In the night I see the real Concealed in the day's bright lie Eyes stitched shut White teeth smile Sleep walks and talks And feet mark time of day [first lines] Diane Powell: It wasn't easy when Nick's father died, raising a teenager alone. But with a boy like Nick, well, he is now everything a mother could want. We've been through some hard times. We've carried each other. Now I look to the future, and I know there's nothing that we can't do together. Nick Powell: Do you remember when my dad died? The first thing that she said to me was, don't worry about it Nick, this won't change a thing for you. Ya know I'm like 13 right, all I wanna do is cry, and she's thinking about my future? She's always had it mapped out. Ya know I stay here, I might as well retire and die. I mean my dad didn't even get to retire, he was 46 when he got sick. I'm not gonna let her do that to me. Nick Powell: [observing his mother] Don't worry about it mom. This won't change a thing for you. Got everything under control, right? You've always had your fingers in everything, ya know. Fingering through this house. Me. My room. Nick Powell: [breaking into a rage] Don't! Don't feel a thing mom! Ya don't want to ruin your face. Your pretty face. I'm out there in the mud. I am dying mom. And you're sitting here with your briefs, and your herbal tea, and your books. I wish you could see me right now mom. So you know how sick I am of you. I am sick of you, and your perfect world. I am sick of you cause it's not perfect. You hear me? Annie Newton: Nick was innocent. I hurt him for nothing. Annie Newton: [Talking to her little brother] Come here little man. Do you know what I want more than anything? Don't be like me... I ruin everything I touch. |
