The Most Unrealistic Part

This was a pretty good film, but the most unrealistic part was at the end. Who in the world would believe that Helen Mirren, after getting a clue that her husband was dead, would get out of her car in the middle of the night and wander around where she threw out the money. It just wouldn't happen.

That's a desperate, really unwise thing for the character to do. She's clearly changing her usual, cool-calm-collected approach to things. (Consider how calm she was with the "other woman!") Then, she breaks down and cries for the first time.
