Its as if no one lives there but them and gang members


Serious lack of background actors. How the hell do they shoot up an apartment complex and a neighborhood without some one running away, taking a peak, screaming, or calling 911? It was a good movie but very unrealistic.

But then again, how bad would the action genre suck it's primary goal were realism?

I know most of Detroit isn't really like that, but I imagine that in those sketchy neighborhoods where the movie takes place, people probably hide and lock their door when stuff like that goes down to protect themselves and their families.

Yeah, it is a bit silly and low on the plausibility scale but it's pretty involving. I liked some of the humor here: bribing the chubby kid with a box of Baby Ruths to distract a bad guy; the Vergara character goes to the police for help but they seem to scoff at her until she tells them her boyfriend is planning to kill a cop and cut right to a shot of the SWAT team frantically en route.
