> I just saw this last evening and had the same thought you did. The sequence seemed to be Preston killed the guards with his own weapon, Preston switches the weapons the next day (Preston has Brandt's gun; Brandt has Preston's), they run a trace on the weapon that killed the guards and it comes up Brandt's gun. But they flashback to the gun switch, implying that the murders they're discussing occurred after the gun switch when it really occurred before.

Wow. I'm impressed that you tracked down this post to reply to. Reading through the thread that follows the original post, I see that I agreed not to argue my point further until I watch the movie again, and that still hasn't happened, so I'll leave it at that. :-)
