Loved it but one thing I think they got wrong is described below in white:

<font color="white">After they loop back to the scene where Clooney's car gets bombed he rushes back down to the car and throws his cell, ring and watch into the flaming wreckage. This supposedly is proof he died in the crash. Wouldn't there at least be bones left?</font>

I saw the movie and agree with everyone that it was brilliant. This one part did bother me quite a bit, though.

Two things would have been immediately apparent to the CSIs at the scene: 1., the car wasn't moving when it exploded, and 2., there are no human remains in the car.

So there wouldn't have been any official report that Clayton was killed in a car bomb... just that his car was bombed and there was no evidence that he was driving it at the time.

I was able to live with this contextual shortcoming while watching the film because it seems as though he only needed to pretend to be dead for a day or two, which is well within the normal police clusterfeck timeframe before anybody officially says anything.
