Things I don't get from this movie....


Why Janeway shot and killed the two henchmen and then Elsa?

Why the diamonds, hidden in a box of chocolates, went to that Frenchman in that little shop.

How the assassin always knew where Doc and his targets were.
As well as everyone always managing to find everyone else.

What an adult would be doing with the same gun after he saw the body of his father right after he committed suicide and how that same adult somehow is a pretty good shot with it.

How a couple of holocaust survivors somehow just happen to see and recognize a Nazi in the same city of millions they are in.

Why a well off Nazi criminal would come out of hiding and risk being seen or caught.

I also wondered about the soccer ball scene.

Why Doc got spooked by the ball and ran off after his girlfriend disappeared into the darkness. Maybe he feared they got her and that was a warning message.
