confused on why sheen was blamed when Clint got kidnapped


I went to the toilet when Clint got kidnapped and then when sheen was back at the station, the superior says to Sheen I dont want to see ur face for 2 weeks

why blame him?

When Pulovski and Ackerman were in the vault to arrest Strom and Co., Ackerman failed to subdue Liesl, allowing all manner of mayhem to occur and Pulovski to be kidnapped.

In all the mayhem, Liesl shot Ackerman in the back (as evidenced by the bullet holes in his vest). This makes his superiors think he was running away from the situation, which is disgraceful and weak.

Get better.

I figured it was just because his not shooting her allowed them to get the upper hand and kidnap Eastwood.

Anyway, the cops shouldn't have let them leave the casino.

Two guys... in an airport... talking... That's a little fishy.

the captain's dry spitting was rather lame.

Agreed, as was Clint spending half the movie sitting tied to a chair allowing "The Rookie" to "strut his stuff solo onscreen".

at least he wasn't talking to the chair.
