This movie fatally misunderstood Pittsburgh geography and the sun. As <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0790724/goofs/?item=gf2653114">detailed on IMDB</a>, and in the <a href="https://youtu.be/y32jmlNIWGc?si=5C7USqENrsfnamXs&amp;t=218">scene on YouTube</a>, Jack Reacher states that the sun would have been in the shooters eyes when this occurred in the morning. In reality, the sun would have been at his back. Later he talks about the bridge that could have been used with the sun behind it. But, as shown in the image below, the sun is behind Mount Washington, which would have been at sunset, not sunrise. If a movie where a major plot point is the position of the sun makes this mistake, then are there high hopes for a medical procedural drama?</p>
