I just rewatched this movie and I just realized; why don't they just rewind the surveillance video? That way they could easily see who came in before the robbery (and therefore isn't one of the perps). Compare that list to the one of everyone who came out of the bank and you got 3/5 of the bad guys.
Boom.
What makes you think that some of the robbers weren't pretending to be customers?
shareThis is clearly addressed when they find out they used infrared lights to knock out the cameras. Denzel's character says great now there's 2 mins when we can't account for who's coming into or leaving the bank.
shareYeah, that is part of the storyline, but like so many other aspects of it, it is quite bogus. Security cameras are not disabled by infrared pulses. They might make some frames unclear, but would not completely disable the cameras.
shareBut it's not a plot hole. They address it.
shareThe op is right but for the wrong reason
Like I mentioned in my thread the giveaway is the big chest woman. The camera clearly would show that the first big chested customer was there on film. The other one didn't come in until after the cameras got knocked out.
What two mins did they miss? The robbers come in and knock out the cameras from that moment no one would enter or leave the bank since its being held up. Once the feed goes out all the people in line would be considered innocent.
Yes they are , if bright enough , and they arnt "pulses".
It dosent matter who was in line at what point - any of them could be the robbers - why does no one get that?
Chaim was already in there getting a loan , the big chested woman in the queue might be in on it too - being in the queue is not an alaibi
