When trying to figure out where Martha is near the end, Stacey's hair goes from being behind her ears to in front and then behind again depending upon the camera angle.
Washington State has no highway patrol, it has a state patrol, and they do not assign two officers to cars.
Martha killed Bordel sometime after the March 2010 crash that killed her husband and daughter and was given a 4 year sentence. The movie date is 2015, and Martha is shown as being released on parole after doing 4 years. Parole is an early release. and would not have been possible as Martha had completed her 4 year sentence.
The stolen vehicle report lists the van as being brown. The photo attached shows it is gray.
Stacey looks at photos of a red car with minor front end damage, extensive damage to the top of the hood, and a smashed windshield. She then sees items from the car that belonged to Martha, so we know it was Martha's car. In the crime report, it says Martha pinned Bordel to a wall with her car, crushing him. Pinning someone to a wall would not result in the damage shown to the red car. It was clearly a photo used from another crash.
When Martha parks the van outside the convenience store, a red Canadian mailbox is clearly visible on the right side of the screen. The closing credits reveal the filming location as British Columbia and not the U.S. where the story is purported to take place.
When the rookie cop gets out of his car and orders Martha to freeze, he foolishly allows her to get the drop on him with the result that he ends up being shot dead by her.
Later, near the end of the film, despite the fact that Stacey has Martha with her hands up, she stupidly allows Stacey to walk right up to her and become disarmed. Presumably, Stacey's sympathy for Martha's mental state has lowered her alertness, which could have easily proven fatal.

Cargo vans such as the stolen one have metal ribs inside of them. A person tied with duct tape could easily rub against one and cut the tape. Additionally, there were several tools in side the van, to include a box cutter knife.
When teenage Sarah is abducted by the clearly deranged ex-convict Martha, Sarah foolishly antagonizes Martha rather than calmly playing along. Although Sarah eventually realizes for her own safety that she ought to pretend to be Martha's real daughter, she too often allows her fear to sabotage potential opportunities for escape.
Because similar abductions have had such widespread media coverage, one would assume that Sarah's mother--a cop--would have instilled caution and logic in her daughter.

Andrea Roth is credited as Stacey Wilkins, yet everyone calls her Tipping. Steve Bacic is credited as Jack Tripping. Sarah Dugdale is credited as Sarah Wilkins but is called Sarah Tipping in the movie. Roth and Bacic wear wedding rings and it is not a blended family, so it appears the character names were changed at some point.
The woman stealing the van was described as muscular, but she had on a bulky jacket and long pants, so her physique was not visible.
Stacey wears her gun in front of her jeans pocket. No officer would wear a gun in such a fashion,, as they would not be able to sit with it in that position. Detectives wear their guns further back on their side.
Martha Dixel is listed on the criminal record photo as being 5'-11" tall. The actress playing her, Rachel Hayward, is only 5'-9" tall.
