What the *beep* kind of psychiatric ward is this?


Yes, I know that we have to take on suspension of belief when we watch a movie, but this was too much. A psych ward where a mental patient is able to sexually assault another patient? Where a patient can easily sneak out the back door? A hit man can sneak in and attack a patient who's locked up?? Come on!

It wasn't another patient it was that weird other janitor from the beginning.
None of the patients seemed violent or agitated so it would be assumed it was a reasonably open ward/minimum security type setting.
Also Daisy escaped by following Jay who used his key card to get into the locked stairwell and didn't shut the door behind him (thus probably violent hospital protocol)
Plus since Daisy didn't seem to have any money to her name or health insurance then one could assume that it's a state run facility and thus horribly underfunded and understaffed
*beep* like that happens ALL the time.

You've clearly never been in a psychiatric ward. It's realistic for it all to be this easy. Do some research about things you've no experience with before you write these lame posts.
