A logically flawed but still brilliant movie

Surrogacy is a very dramatic subject. Except for a few obvious logical loopholes, the whole film is generally well shot and has suspense. The three major logical loopholes are: first, if you know that this female lunatic will kill, why not call the police and go to the lake house to catch her, but to catch her yourself? Second, there is only one egg. When picking a surrogate mother, the lawyer didn't do a serious background check? Third, why did the female lunatic go to the male protagonist's company to harass him? There is no reason.

When the Bough Breaks quotes

  • Mike Mitchell: Did you know that you have their only embryo?

    Anna Walsh: It's... a baby now.

    Mike Mitchell: They don't have it! In the eyes of the law, since it's inside of you, it belongs to us. We can decide to keep it for ourselves any time we want.

    Anna Walsh: But... I-I thought...

    Mike Mitchell: Don't think. I think, baby. I'm the brains on this. You're just the uterus.

  • Mike Mitchell: You're into him.

    [Mike moves to sit next to Anna, whispering in her ear]

    Mike Mitchell: What do you think is going to happen? Hmm? You'll end up happily ever after with him in that big house? He doesn't care about you.

    [Mike roughly grabs Anna's hair]

    Mike Mitchell: You are like a cow to him.
