Good, Fun Movie, But...


Two things in the movie that I thought was kind of ridiculous:

1 ) When at the police station, Allan is being held for suspicion of hiring a hitman to kill his wife, who is also being held at the station. So, the police feel its OK to throw her in the same room as him. Wouldn't they be cautious, at least until they have totally cleared Allan first of not being guilty of why he's being held at a police station? Or least until they find the hitman and question, or kill the hitman, which ever came first.

2 ) in the end, Allan uses his wife as bait, to get a jump on Jonas. What husband who truly loves his wife, would do this? Why not just put her in some room, close the door, then meet Jonas head-on, keeping his wife clear from any danger?! Right when Jonas sees her, he coulda popped her. Allan took about 5 seconds before he onfronted Jonas after he found her. Hmm, maybe he really kinda wanted her dead. Ha ha

There are other things wrong with this movie, but these two things stood out to me.

Okay, but a board hit man killing a stranger's enemies to teach him a lesson ... that you bought.

Cuba was never going to really just kill the wife. You saw when he shot the wife on the leg instead. Cuba wanted to die but it was about making the guy grow some balls and stop him.

What wife anyway who loves her husband would even do that with the best friend?
