Oh come on!

Lol.. those are good ones.

I too am usually the first to suspend belief for a movie, honestly some ppl go way overboard on taking things litteraly. However, on something like this, I expect them to be a lot tighter with the writting. This movie was really getting on my nerves up until we got a bit of a payoff, but in the end I think it could have been more exciting and could have edited down the first hour a bit and cleaned up a lot of the sloppyness. There were several scenes where I wondered if either A) the director took the day off, or B) the script never had a re-write.

Oddly the plane one didn't bother me, but now that I think about it does seem pretty silly. I often wonder how they write it in the script, was it actually written like that and nobody thought it was an issue or is this an editing gaffe?

I don't get how he got them all on one bus. That part makes absolute no sense. Omar came up with the names. The list would obviously not be all from one area, c'mon.

how about the part where they blow up an Embassy? supposedly the CIA (or whoever the "intel contractor" worked for) and the local Marseilles authorities were in on it (they got some bodies from the morgue, right?) -- yet the FBI didn't figure anything out until Agent Clayton nearly kills Samir? (who by then has lost his handler...) and if they were able to produce 2 bodies from the morgue... they couldn't prevent an "unscheduled maintenance"? who hires these guys!

lastly, Samir's face was publicly revealed as one of FBI's Most Wanted... how in the hell is he ever going to be a "free man"? collective amnesia?

still a good show... but my guess is the ambitious plot was a little too difficult to edit sensibly.

I have to agree that the story did spill over into something like an old Batman episode. None the less, it was an interesting story and there were nicely shot segments done on location.

For the record, I rated this film 8/10 - very good.

Listen, this is a realistic thriller. If you want Bond or Bourne, go watch Bond or Bourne. Horn isn't Bond, he's human. And humans can be governed by their feelings. Horn knew it was a bad idea and he went anyway because he wanted to try and explain to the woman he loves, what he has been doing.


And the plane was already in the air. They were coming back from flying the guy who failed to kill himself. Guy had the plane diverted in, what I can assume, was U.S. air space.

I definitely agree about visiting his girlfriend! I just saw the film and I was very annoyed by such lazy writing.

Agreed.

Biggest and dumbest plot hole of the entire movie!
