So the FBI just forgot about the murders from the Main Terrorist Leader?

I found it strange that the leader of Computer Terrorists got away with a lot of things in the movie, first she was involved in the Killing of Will and also Joseph Tagger's Colleagues who were sitting behind him in the computer room. We see her involved in stealing, kidnapping and blowing up expensive equipment but when she is located, instead of being arrested, The FBI and Joseph Tagger decide to join forces with her as they were apparently scared of what Will was capable of doing.

Surely she should of been sent down for a very long time.

Yup.. that what I was thinking as well. This movie should've been a TV series instead. They squeezed many things into 2 hours.

Presumably taking down Will and saving the entire world and everybody in it was more important than booking her for a couple murders.

Just another example of the poor writing in this movie.

I was most irritated by the fact that no one outside of like 5 US government people seemed concerned about the AI. Realistically it would have been pretty much everyone in the world concerned about trying to shut him down.

Most of the Worlds population would have welcomed Will as a benevolent entity capable of making their lives much better. The ones concerned about Will were the same ones as those at the front of the train in the movie Snowpiercer. They had a lot of power to lose if their train was derailed and sacred Engine destroyed.

Didn't they say they wanted her guerrila group to take the fall for public press if military operation goes bad?

I was thinking the same thing.
She could've collaborated with the FBI from a cell, right?

I'll be good I swear... I'll never see a movie ever again.

Well such a thing is not without precedent in very real US history. In the aftermath of World War II, the US brought hundreds of German scientists over from Europe, in lots of cases wiping their Nazi slates clean. Werner von Braun was one of the many ex-Nazis who put his expertise to work for what became NASA. The thinking was better for the US than for the USSR. Von Braun actually went well out of his way to surrender to US forces rather than end up serving the Soviets.

How many people died because of this cure? Do you have any idea how many deaths happen when the world shutdown? Through the whole movie, I was expecting him to turn corrupt and evil and that didn't happen.

It could start a new era with super-humanity conquering the galaxy - but no, *beep* it, lets kill the bastard. ;)

The egos of the terrorists might have blinded them as to why the FBI would collaborate with them - that being, of course, to pass the public blame to them.

That bothered me a little, as well. But we don't really know what happened afterward with regard to them. They could have been arrested anyway and charged with the murders. We simply don't know because it wasn't explained.

We never heard the government explicitly say that they would be free and clear of everything if they helped. It was probably made to seem that way by the government so they would get the help, but as you know, the government going back on their word isn't an unusual occurrence.
