- An early prison fight is proposed to establish Hathaway’s combat ability before the restaurant brawl.
- The elaborate basement tunnel and booby traps prompt questions about who could construct them discreetly.
- Barrett and Jessup fail to take defensive cover in the shootout.
- Hemsworth is considered implausibly handsome for the hacker role.
- The final confrontation’s dialogue could not plausibly be heard across a loud cultural event at such a distance.
- The helicopter conversation about Hathaway dating Dawai’s sister, supposedly on a private channel, is criticized.
- The couple seems prepared for the exact wounds Hathaway will receive, with supplies, scarf, and magazine armor enabling his survival.
- Replacing dialogue across the opening 25 minutes to support the reordered plot is criticized as especially odd for a $70 million film.
