Notes
Goofs:
Factual errors: While going through the files on the computer at Megan's desk, Agent Hickley describes GIFs to Dr. Cross as being made up of billions of ones and zeros. In fact, even just one billion binary bits (ones and zeros) would be over 100 megabytes - at least a hundred times the size of typical GIF images. (more)

Trivia:
The scene where Alex Cross pays the kidnapper by throwing the bag containing the ransom from the window of a transit train is taken from James Patterson novel 'Roses are red' which starred Alex Cross investigating another of his "best enemies", Kile Craig, aka "The Mastermind". (more)
