Goofs

"A.C.E." is listed after cinematographer David Boyd's name in the opening credits. This stands for American Cinema Editors, of which he is not a member (he also isn't even a film editor). The correct letters to use would have been "A.S.C." for American Society of Cinematographers, of which he is a member.

Daniel Barrett: Look, officer, this wasn't a- a cooking mess. This was like a... like a mathematician's idea of a geometry joke. Ha, I don't know whether to be pissed or impressed.
