Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): During the 'SWAT' team's raid, the lead officer knocks in the door and proceeds to rush in without any weapon drawn. No professional would do this because it would leave him or her defenseless to anyone guarding the door. See more »Quotes
