plotholes galore *SPOILERS*

just some wild speculation , as its obvious the movie doesnt come up with a lot of explanation on this valid subject.
i think there are no mentions of hidden camera's, so some explanation could go into people carrying them.
since they are keeping constant tracking of his every move (cellphone location prob.) they could have had the old lady in a following car.
i cant explain the bikers, and i thought they were not really a relevant part in the story (they didnt pop up in flash backs, neither did the cow as far as i can recall).
the fly, well maybe that was a little improvisation. maybe they just let loose a bunch of flies :D

im not saying these are very valid explanations, its just fun and try to make some sense of these kinda details.

another plothole:
the nurse hasnt seen in what exactly room he entered. So WHY police didnt checked every room on this floor and just came directly to 805?

But anyway, movie is good. I want more people to see it before DiMENSiON's remake come out

They planned the challenges around Chit through his father. Chit didn't know the full extent of the game.

Also, I don't think every challenge was planned. If the game was going one way and Chit went the other, the game just tailored to his actions.

Andylib,

Just saw the movie last night, and I don't disagree with the notion there are plot holes in the movie, but I don't think it's quite as bad as you've laid out.

Camera angles could certainly come from some hidden cameras, but I'd assume most were from mobile cameras. The game organizers were certainly well-connected. Perhaps they could link into city surveillance and/or traffic cameras. Hard to do? Sure, but other movies have used the premise before. Mobile cameras would simply be on people charged with following game "players" around - that part wouldn't be hard at all in mostly public places.

With regards to the hospital, I'd say that was put together by the game organizers last minute. Once the hero says to the taxi driver they're taking the boyfriend to the hospital, it would be simple logic they're going to take him to the closest hospital. With a team already hired whose job in the game is to prepare future challenges, it stands to reason they high tailed it to the hospital to get things ready.

The lady would be wheeled in later. The cops chasing the hero around would actually have given them extra time to lay things out. (I'm in agreement, though, with the person questioning how the cops knew which room to target, but that is a minor plot hole...it could have easily been they showed the cops going door to door and it really wouldn't have changed anything.)

The bikers and the clothesline - who said the game organizers did know the bikers were coming? It could have been literally anyone! At the right speed, a cable could cut through the front part of a car and still killed someone. Best case scenario - it would have severely damaged the car and gave the hero something to answer for.

The fly issue could easily have been a challenge made up on...well...the fly! It was, after all, as basic a challenge as you can have. Since the hero's office was where the game was going to originate, it would make sense they had it well-scouted and well-covered regarding cameras.

I'm not discrediting the fact there are plot holes, or at best major stretches, but I think the film deserves a lot more leeway than you're giving it.

the biers could have traveled the s time nightly...thats how they knewame way the same

I AM DINOSAUR...RAR!!!

I think that the ending (with his father killing him) fills in how they knew so much about him, which was a really nice ending.

I think that in every step of the game there are either witnesses (or they are "viewers") or places a camera can be placed.

I think that you can make an excuse for any sort of occurence that is coincidental. for instance, people are creatures of habit, so the bikers could always be taking that route, and that one biker who had the samurai sword could always be carrying that around. He could have been told to carry it, or he could have even been given it.

Remember in the end that the mastermind (or whatever he is) of this game says that there are many other games. What if people are playing other games that relate to this game?

Maybe if you sat down with the writers and director, they would say "OK, we didn't think that out correctly" or maybe they can explain it away.

I think this film did a better job of having an omniscient overseer than something like Eagle Eye. Saw is even more ridiculous, because the creator of the traps is not even alive!

I agree that there are plot holes everywhere, but in defense of the movie, i think the fact that they started off knowing a lot about who he was, where he was, there was a fly in the room, just sort of creeped the audience out enough for us to just accept that we were dealing with some sort of omniscient organizer, almost sort of magical. It logically doesn't make sense, but it's all sort of okay because our mind can only imagine what goes on with the omniscient. It's hard to say how the number appeared in the man in the well's pocket, or the random guy from the bus's pocket, so it's all sort of strange. It's more like an Asian horror film than anything else, except there isn't as much supernatural activity.

The answer is that god is hosting the game, laughing at the greed and bloodthirst of humanity. Simple. How didn't none of you figure this out? First thing when I saw the fly was instantly thinking about Bulgakov's "Master and Margarita".
