Plot Holes, Cliches, and Randomness


Despite me living in Pittsburgh while they were filming this. And a few of my college friends are extras in the show. I watched this entire mini series for the first time. And I will admit that is sucks you in, while at the same time you can notice the annoying plot holes that it brings along with the ride.

The many plot holes in his series baffles me. Why is it that the Wolf is able to stand around a bunch of swat men and cops. Rant for 10 minutes? He can shake people's hands, and not get detained. That is the leader?

When they are in the tunnel, and having that huge gun fight with swat. They retreat back to the door they first came out of. Why did the swat not follow them and breach the building? They stopped and all pointed their guns at a dead body.

The cliches of the negotiator having something happen. The FBI gets involved, they *beep* up. He's back in charge. The Police Chief is meddling.

And the sniper who is posted on a roof and doesn't do anything but have corny ass philosophical rants that make no sense. It was so stupid. I mean, really bad.

More plot holes than just those.

I agree 100%, I just finished watching it for the second time and it's really wrought with cliche...watching the show is like a fun game of 'notice all the tropes from other movies' The characters were quite 2D and even the basic premise is very 'Dog Day Afternoon meets the Rock'.

The end fight scene/ shoot out was laughable and although I really like Donnie Walhberg (from Band of Brothers at least) he wasn't given a whole bunch to work with.

Good call on the sniper thing ! haha I hadn't thought of that but that's a MASSIVE trope !

Seriously? If the cops were to detain Wolf then the men inside would start executing hostages. That was a dumb comment I'm sorry. The rest of your argument holds water. The sniper on the roof I mean who cares. Its possible in real life that when your on post that long you would start ranting too.
