A few obvious BUGs, not vomiting

First of all, I’m not picking up the bargain. I really like this movie. If nothing else, I watched the two shootouts at the beginning and the end very well. I gave it 3 and a half to 4 stars overall. However, other than that, the whole movie is quite a bit. The obvious bugs really make me unhappy.

Write it below and discuss it together.

Multi-picture warning! !


1. Downey's plan is to steal the waste money from the federal treasury. According to the statement in the photo, the serial number of these money has been deleted from the system, which is equivalent to a non-existent amount of money. I don't understand the tracking mechanism of the banking system when currency is in circulation, but according to common sense, once the money enters the circulation channel, will it not be easy to find that it is a pile of waste paper that should be powdered by a shredder? So after Downey and Melea steal this pile of "scrap money", how do they plan to spend it? Don't tell me they only plan to go to the small shop downstairs to buy spicy noodles and they're done.

Every day, 30 million US dollars are deleted from the system and the serial number is destroyed as waste paper.

2. Downey, as the man behind the scenes, finally designed himself to escape from the bank by gambling and pretending to be foolish. An outsider delivering food, without registration and surveillance video, just walked out of the bank... It may not matter if it is an ordinary enterprise, but I have emphasized it for so long, saying how meticulous the security measures of this branch of the Federal Reserve are, and why is he determined to be able to get through the interrogation of the door guard by playing haha?

Forced explanation and humiliated the guard brother's IQ and memory

3. The guard at the door received a call from the black girl and asked him to stop Downey. The guard got up and chased him. Then, when the camera was turned, he never explained anything about the guard. In the next shot, Downey swaggered into the street. superior. So what does the setting of this plot mean? Simply increase the tension?

After the guard put down the phone, he got up and chased Downey... right? Then what

4. When Downey entered the bank, he hid him in the cash drawer with a partition on the top, so that the cash drawer he was in looked full from the outside. But the money they put in the cash drawer totaled more than 700,000 U.S. dollars. According to the words of the last cash counter, "Just put it in a bag and send it over." This shows that this amount of money is not guilty of using two boxes in any case. . So how dare the Melea team dare to face so many people who count money every day in the bank, and take the risk of being easily seen through? Finally, as they wished, when the cash counter asked "I remember the money was full when it came in, why is it so little now?", they passed by playing foolishly again...probably they had investigated in advance. All the workers in the bank are all confused.

The money counting brother found something strange, but did not pursue it

The uncle cash counter just spit out

Forcibly explaining x2, it also humiliated the IQ and memory of the money counter uncle

This little money is still packed in a cabinet, when I haven’t seen the money?

5. After Downey climbed out of the cashbox, where did he receive the big partition? There is no lens explanation, probably the director thinks it’s not easy to explain, let Downey take it back into another dimension pocket... well, this is not a bug

There is a transparent partition on top of Donny's head to support the banknotes above

6. The employee card that Downey used when he got away was thrown by a Fed employee in (being on?) the bar. But from the time when Downey got the employee card, to the end they acted. I don’t know how many days have passed before the employee does not need to check in when he goes to work? Stay in the bar and don't want to take it back?

Not long after the film began, an uncle of the Commonwealth Bank put the work card on the table when he left the bar

When Downey finally escaped from the Commonwealth Bank, he swiped the elevator with his badge

7. According to the description in the film, the lost banknotes will be discovered as long as they reappear in any corner of the world. So the more than 700,000 US dollars that Downey and the others put into the cash drawer were all robbed of the stadium in front, so it will not be waste. Then why did the cash counter start counting the money before and after the alarm system was not triggered? Could it be that when the Commonwealth Bank internally counts money, it does not verify the serial number of the money in the treasury?

Any lost banknotes will be marked online

8. At the beginning of the film, the cash transport truck that Melea and the others robbed, and the cash drawer stolen from the gym before, are all numbered, right? Especially for the cash drawer, the number on it appeared several times in the movie and was clearly identifiable. But in fact, when such a stolen cash drawer once again appeared openly in front of you, the entire federal security system from beginning to end did not respond again, as if mentally retarded.

The money and the cash drawer recovered from the gymnasium, the number on it is clearly identifiable

After entering the Commonwealth Bank, these two cash cabinets are still in full view.

9. I don't know how high the stack of 30 million US dollars is, but according to the photo taken, 700,000 US dollars together can have a full chest (?). Then let's look at how much Donnie took away in the end? I counted, there are about 12 black plastic bags in total, and they are not too big. How much money is there? The film didn’t say it, but visually, I don’t think it can be much more than 700,000...Even if the camera doesn’t show all the fallen bags, to be honest, it’s just Donny alone. In a few minutes, he How much money can you take away? What is the purpose of the intensive care?

How much is the black garbage bag thrown into the garbage can by Downey?

10. After Nick finished sleeping with the stripper, he got up in the morning and bumped into the plot of Melea in the house, which made me confused. If this stripper had been arranged by Melea to seduce Nick and deliberately leaked misinformation to him, would Melea not know that these two slept in her room? Why have to break into the house early in the morning and have an "unexpected" encounter with Nick? The most inexplicable thing is that, regardless of whether Melea did it on purpose, Nick should understand that the stripper knows Melea at this time anyway. But after Nick walked out of the house, he continued to believe the information the stripper told him, and he asked the brothers to set off... This is entering the sage mode, is his brain muddled?

The awkward encounter of the two

Nick still believes in sister's intelligence

11. The bank has already been robbed. Here, the Federal Bank can actually accept money trucks from the bank in a step-by-step manner. Is this the director's complaint about the blocked information between the FBI, the police system and the Federal Bank?

Banks are being robbed, what kind of money trucks are needed?

12. When the Indian guy eavesdropped on the call between Alameda and the Commonwealth Bank for the first time, he heard the delivery schedule at 2 o'clock. When the time was checked again before the action, it was 2:45. Maybe this is not a bug (too Obvious), so what does the time change here mean?

For the first time tapping, the confirmation time at both ends of the phone is 2 o'clock

Confirm again before shipping the money, the time has become 2:45

As for the endless "divorce" scenes between the protagonist and his wife and daughter, they showed off the hard-working family life of the LASD agent as if they wanted to express something, but they didn't say anything clearly.. .This may be a director's ability problem, but it is not a bug for the time being.

    It's alright, it's a cool movie, the black dad is super warm, but it's a bit of a straight man

    In the end the bad guys succeeded. Can be included in the "high intelligence crime film". The final shootout was great, but 2 hours was way too long. Butler just can't get rid of the rough police image
