Maybe I wasn't paying attention but in the scene where Sean Pennreties the trip wire for the claymore mine isn't he still lying on the floor right next to the door when the 2 killers walk in and set it off? Surely he would have been killed as well?

this scene had some bad continuity and timing, if you gonna parallell montage and stuff u gotta have some timing

"if seagal was thinner this could have been a theatrical product."
Yeah guys the timing of that scene was kind of off.
shareJust watched the scene,
With the apartment's door swinging in, the two dudes would not have been able to open it with SP laying on the floor at the foot of it, so because they could open it, we can infere that he had already got up and got away, and because he showed up at the car only seconds after the explosion, he must have already been headed down by the time they opened it.
They just edited the scene to make it look like he was still there while they were picking the lock but he had already moved.
I also think its possible to tie off the trip wire from outside the apartment, with the door only cracked open a few inches, but its also just as likely that they used a window leading to a fire escape after they set the trap.
The only real stretch to me, is that the two dudes had to have expected SP to notice the claymore setup after he walked in and turned on the light.
Yeah, maybe it failed because the trip wire broke, but it would have been clear for SP to see. So now they know, that he knows the apartment is burned, yet they go strolling in the front door, when they should have maybe gone in thru a window.
Just watching it again.
Yup, what mpfive0 said. Not confusingly edited in the sense of poorly, but trickily edited. A deliberate tactic. One I do not like, but it's a thing. Edit cross-cutting as though it's all in current time, but in fact they are offset. Sean did all this, as you said, earlier.
The theory is that Sean doesn't know when they are coming, so in his mind there could be guys coming through the door NOW... but I still think there are other ways to add tension without fooling the audience.
As we saw, it's easy to decide it's impossible, or a screw up.

Yeah. That scene sorta threw me off, too. Not sure what happened there.
shareA needlessly confusingly edited scene, perhaps in an attempt to raise tensions or something.
