stupid, two in a row


Severe spoiler warning!

It's so stupid and it annoys me so much. It happens in other films too, but in this case it's Kika which loses 2 stars for it, so that leaves it at just 6/10. Pity.
Er, before I explain, did I warn you about spoilers?
...








First Ramón, and then Andrea go see a murderer telling him they know all about what he's done, without properly covering for themselves.
OK, Andrea was armed, but if Nicholas would have had a gun too, she could have been dead before she managed to get in. Besides, I'm not so much talking about weapons, but rather about making sure that other people have the information as well, or that it will be revealed if something would happen to them.
So what were they thinking? That after telling a murderer he will let them go, just like that? Murderers usually are dangerous, and they don't like witnesses or evidence.

This is double: sure it adds to the suspense, but it's so incredible and incredibly stupid that it can ruin a good story completely. As it did for me with Kika.

Like I said, I've seen this in other films as well (which I won't name, or I'll have to add spoiler warnings for those too), but here it happens twice and that makes it twice as bad.
My two cents... or is that four?

Do comic films have to be taken literally? Was “Modern Times” an authentic picture of conditions in a factory in the USA in the 1930s? Did “A Fish Called Wanda” accurately record goings on at Heathrow airport? Nobody knows if there has ever been a real-life rape like the one in this film, though I doubt it, but I can’t believe there has ever anywhere been a former psychiatrist and current TV presenter like Andrea Scarface in her Gaultier outfits? While enjoyable fantasies should perhaps make you think, surely plot logic is not essential?
