Goofs
Superglue (i.e. cyanoacrylate glue, CA glue) is a kind of glue that does not actually "dry". This kind of glue sets through a chemical reaction when exposed to moisture. And in presence of sufficient moisture it sets very quickly. This is the reason it can instantly bond human skin, or varoious porous moisture-containing materials (e.g. wood). This is also the principle on which various CA "glue accelerators" are based. However, this glue can maintain its liquid state for a very long time when exposed to fairly dry air. A drop of CA glue will sit in the open for hours and hours without setting, since it pulls very little moisture from surrounding air. It is incorrect to claim that superglue applied to a gun would've dried quickly. Quite the opposite, the movie depiction of CA glue's behavior is very accurate: it remains liquid on an exposed metal surface, but cures instantly when comes in contact with human skin.

Quotes
Detective: Trent's only line in the film was "I don't see anything here that says that this is our guy"

stupid characters and too many cliches ruined it

Someone wrote exactly what I think on the reviews, but as he wrote spoilers I'll do the no-spoiler version. So, the movie has potential, has an interesting story, good cinematography and a good bunch of cool old actors playing the veteran cops teaching the rookie their stories in a poker night. So far it's OK, but as we see the rookie being so stupid all the time, even if it was the point at some level, he'll fall into every teenager horror movie cliche situation you can think of and never learn. At least me, not interested in watching a movie whit the main character being that lame. A few other plot holes and things (a patched wound over a shirt was so funny) add up to the stupidity of situations through the whole movie, you'll be eye-rolling a lot here. The movie has quite a lot of dark humour and doesn't pretend to be too serious, but this silliness is just lazy writing. It's not awful, but don't expect too much form it.
