I get it but this is over 20,000 people. This was a concert. Even we as humans can't make the perfect decisions all the time and that was the point to the whole movie. Human behaviour. The funny thing is when you're watching as the audience it's easy to think that you can just get the guy. But in real life, you could pass a girl being kidnapped and have no idea that's what is happening.

Raven felt that the man who was at stake was more important which she was right. Why? Before the police got there that door would have broken down, he will hit the button and the guy dies. He gets apprehended but that house is never discovered? It would have been more disappointing.

Like I said. Human behaviour. This just made it all the more satisfying because humans are wired to function differently. Cooper was barely human and why he could defy the law. Every other person operated with a certain kind of mindset. Like I pointed out, the Profiler forgot one very simple but critical detail. So did the whole of the police... Cooper was an ordinary man.

More like incompetence from them - guy clearly acting suspicious even when interacted with the some of the police personally, which the movie also emphasizes how suspicious his body language was and they still missed. There was no expectation of perfect decisions of course, but the decisions were too ridiculous knowing that all staff knows they should be on high alert. Right, human behavior, not FBI behavior.

Yeah I was talking about after they have found the guy in the basement, there were a few minutes of just her looking at the door.

Just really bad and lazy writing imo.

The movie got really bad for me in the middle or so as well, the focus on the singer becoming a hero even though no influencer/anyone "famous" would ever risk their own life to save a random stranger, let alone a random person to begin with.

Then the added twists that it was his wife who gave him up and as if that wasn't enough he kept getting caught and escaping over and over like what was the point of that, just made it seem more and more ridiculous. I thought he was going to kill himself in the garage when the family saw what he was and they went away with the singer and the police, would've probably been a better ending.

I did have reservations about his ability to always escape. Especially when it got to the part about the car and the audience. Lol. It was still entertaining for me and I enjoyed the chase.

Yeah I get it... well, I guess that the movie was more important than the message it passed. I enjoyed it though... first time I come across things like this that don't involve sawing and cutting.

P.S I am open to movie recommendations please🙂

The whole concert stage I didn't really have much against, some things were a bit out there but was needed to get to the 2nd part of the movie but then I thought a lot of things were a bit unnecessary and overdone.

Could be true. Hmmm, maybe I should start looking at movies with a new eye.
