How could leaving the prisoner cuffed to the toilet end up so wrong?

Rhodes had one job and he didn't do it! Oh well, accidents happen I guess.

I don't think he was that bothered about him getting free. It was just to keep up the pretence that he was a cop

Do you realize that this was all in Malcolm's head anyway? So it didn't matter.

As the movie progressed, yes, but it was annoying as I sat there watching it.

When he originally cuffed him to the toilet I was thinking "bad idea, he can get out" but later sive Rhodes was his "partner" I began to think he did it on purpose in case thr convict needed to get loose later to help him. They had a weird relationship for 2 people working together to get free, but I'm sure were playing their roles to not draw suspicion.

The characters were all figments of his fractured mind. They didn't exist.

But yes, I almost switched the movie off at that point, it was insulting.

It was the lack of attention to detail and poor direction that robbed this movie of the potential to be great.
