Major plot hole?

Maybe, but in not being a lifelong blind person, perhaps her other senses haven't developed to the same degree yet that we would think a blind person's would.

I thought your post was going to be about how the cat lived after being thrown off a 20 story building.

I recorded this and just watched it today. Yikes! The entire movie seemed like a major plot hole!!! To start with, someone who'd been injured and blinded by a bomb wouldn't look like she did - completely unscathed with perfect eyes. That stood out from the start. Yeah, I wondered how she didn't smell the blood as well, especially when later she said she smelled the bad guys after they allegedly left the apartment.

She played innocent quite well, when I think she knew all along about the diamonds, the money, and Ryan's history. Probably saved her butt.

And the cat! Really? Come on now.

My husband is a police officer and was a detective at one point (before being moved due to a promotion he sought out). He explained that fresh blood doesn't have a lot of smell. Once the blood starts coagulating (thickening) that's when the smell starts. He said it has a metallic smell. She should have been able to smell it. Especially, after taking a shower. She also should have smelled "Chad" when she was getting out of the shower. There are several things like that throughout the movie. I like Keaton though. It was ok. 3 out of 5 stars. Haha! My own rating chart.

With so much blood I would think she would have smelled it, even a non blind person would likely smell that.

The Filmmakers clearly just wanted to milk that moment for dramatic effect. Same result. She discovers the body

That said, in defense of the filmmaker choice not necessarily being a plot hole, at this point in the story Sara is completely oblivious to any wrongdoing. She's not expecting there to be a dead body in her kitchen so her senses wouldn't be keyed into everything, whereas later when she smells them in the apartment. Sara is already on high alert

exactly my thoughts too!! it was too much blood and she was too close!

Plot hole - You Keep Using That Word, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means.
