When the ring case in the safety deposit box is opened, the Cartier logo is smaller, with "London" and "Paris" visible under the logo. Later, when Detective Frazier shows the ring in the box to the mayor, the logo is a different Cartier logo.
When Det. Frazier enters the bank to take a tour of the hostages with Dalton, Steve-O (James Ransone) is tied up with the "trouble maker" group, mouths gagged but eyes not covered. This means Steve (Carlos Andrés Gómez) is the male robber following Frazier at gunpoint with Dalton. Yet when Frazier decides to "attack" Dalton, leading them to both fall down the stairs, its Steve-O who breaks up the fight at the bottom of the steps and then confronts Dalton, with Steve at his side about letting Frazier get the jump on him. In those moments, it would have been impossible for Steve-O to go from hostage in back room to robber with full face covering holding AK-47 at front bank door, without blowing his cover.
It seems they got their Steves mixed up. Steve-O as hostage, Steve carrying gun covering Dalton, then Steve-O at the bottom of the stair.

Outside cage door to the vault switches from open to closed and back as camera angle switches as the cops are searching the bank.
Russell holds the older woman at gunpoint and threatens her because she won't take her clothes off. In the next shot, Russell is holding the gun at his side.
The van used by the bank robbers is a Chevrolet Express which utilizes daytime running lamps which cannot be turned off. The lamps are illuminated when Dalton first drives off in the van and again at the bank. However, when the van is driving over the Brooklyn Bridge, the lamps are no longer illuminated.
The cops are supposedly fooled when the gang play part of a speech in Albanian by the late Enver Hoxha to fool their listening devices. But even though they don't know the language, they ought to notice that it sounds like a monologue by one man rather than a possible conversation between four bank robbers, one of them female.
That's not how human comprehension works. When listening to a torrent of unfamiliar comprehensible sounds, after a while, the brain treats them like white noise, unable to recognize them or sort them into discrete parts of a conversation.

After one week passes and the robber leaves his "cell", his accomplices come to pick him up outside of the bank. Those same accomplices were photographed and questioned by the police they day the siege entered. With every other aspect of the mission being so perfectly planned, there is no way the perpetrators would take the chance of showing up themselves at the bank to pick up their accomplice and risk blowing the whole caper.
Since there's no push to solve the case, being no evidence and nothing missing, there is not much risk that cops would stake out the bank a week later and scrutinize passing cars for a few faces of the dozens of others who were photographed and questioned. Frazier happening by was a fluke.

When referring to his exploits in the war, the bank president's lips reveal him saying it was "fifty years ago" but the sound has been dubbed to "sixty years ago".
The very experienced actor realized, as he was speaking his lines, that the math was off, so he started to say "fifty" and diverted to "sixty". It didn't look like a dub. Sixty years ago would actually have been roughly the time of WW2.

After the detective finds and destroys the "bug" in the police van that the mastermind had been listening to, the detective tries unsuccessfully to have the police captain call off the siege. The captain announces that they're going in, after which the mastermind tells his team, "They're coming in." But he wouldn't have heard anything after the moment the bug had been found and destroyed, so he could have only guessed at what the police were going to do next.
The whole point of being a mastermind is thinking of everything and planning for everything. He knew that his bug being found would trigger an assault. It might have been a guess, but it was a well calculated guess. Or, maybe the bug wasn't as destroyed as Frazier thought it was, and was still transmitting.

The lock box is picked correctly towards the end of the movie when Detective Frazier is in the vault by removing the nose to access the levers. However, earlier in the movie it is done wrong. The nose remains on the box yet the thieves are still able to pick it.
When the captain finds the fake blood apparatus, he operates the plunger without gloves on, ruining any possible fingerprints.
