Gigantic Continuity Goof Anyone? (SPOILER)


What's with the aging of Mr. Killer? I mean, he's in his early twenties when he meets and gets pissed at the 10-year old main character. But forty-some years later, he's now about 40? He's actually younger than the main character? Kinda hard to eat. I'm wondering if they just cast the wrong guy for the detective part. Finding someone in his thirties would also match better with his supposed girlfriend.

I was wondering the same thing. Neither roll was performed so good that nobody else could have played them.

Oh, he clearly had ten years on the guy >.>

I was wondering about that too. Looks like the cop passed the killer in age at some point. The killer had to be at least 22 or 23 when he met him at age 10. By the end of the movie, the cop was at least 10 years older than the killer. That's the age difference between the actors in reality.

Serious head scratcher.






No two persons ever watch the same movie.

I think the point was made that the killer had psychotic break and had two personalities. I felt that the POV of the audience was viewing the personality of the killer feeling he was a younger man. I dunno, that was just my take on it. I thought it was a pretty good film and didn't know the lead is on the radio since I don' live in LA. Always happy to see Dwight Yoakum!

This was a major problem for me. Yeah, either recast the killer or the detective. Once the reveal was made, I had to think, "What the Hell?"

ThE Killer Was 10 When His Mother Killed His Father. The Police Chief Tells Detective That Happened In 1958 Putting His Birth In 1948. So The Killer Was Supposed To Be 60-61 Y.O. Lol What A Joke. The Killer Looked 40Ish Detective Looked 60Ish ,Really Effing StUpid!!!!!

The detective (Mark Thompson) also wrote the movie, so maybe that explains the strange casting . . . a little bit, anyway. Steve V.
