* {{Narm}}: When Vince Vaughn's character is investigating [[SerialKiller Carl]]'s murders, he comes to the conclusion that the killer ''wants'' to be caught because he's not even trying to hide the corpses anymore. Unfortunately the shooting script is a lot less well-thought-out, because the line Vaughn actually says is [[CaptainObvious "If we don't stop this guy, he's not going to stop himself!']]

* IdiotPlot: The whole "enter into a SerialKiller's mind to discover clues in order to locate his latest victim and save her before it is too late" is actually meaningless and the case would have been cracked by the police without Catherine's help if they just did their jobs properly. [[spoiler: The manufacturer's logo clue that Novak eventually finds during his own mental travel into Carl's mind near the end of the movie? It is a replica of one that was in Carl's basement the whole time (yes, the basement of the house in which he is arrested).
