When he's at the train station reading people, I like how David just lets the hate criminal and the rapist slide without a thought
Yeah. Well, I guess the movie's runtime demanded that he could only pick one bad guy. lol
shareWell as the other poster said, they needed to end the movie so he picked the worst one.
sharePlus what was he going to do about the one, police I had a vision this guy threw a bottle at someone two weeks ago, go arrest him.
sharealso I think he was just getting used to this power and it took a bit for him to process just wtf was going on. He may have always had the power (like knowing the guy at the stadium had a gun) but I think before he opened himself up to it he probably just perceived it as a "hunch".
shareHe is not accustomed to his 'superpowers' yet and thus might be confused about what he actually 'read'. So he actually picks the last one (and also the worst).
share^Decisions, decisions...
shareI like how you clearly don’t understand movies you simpleton. Get a life loser
shareYes. That's a good point. He can't get every bad person. This sort of reminded me of that dude in the Green Mile who would touch people and see the bad things they did. Made it difficult to live knowing all the bad things in the world. But I did wonder how he knew to follow that person, based only on that one vision. There was nothing about the vision to suggest that people were still in danger, i.e. such that there was someone he needed to save. We can chalk it up to super-powers, but they just did not show that in the movie.
shareI always took it that he was trying to prevent a crime, not go after someone who already committed one.
If you think about it, how can he act like a superhero with a guy who raped a woman back in college? Point a finger and say "you should go to jail? I don't' have any proof but I know you did it."
Exactly; David was not a time traveler. He could only do something about crimes that were happening at that moment.
He was not a cop so he couldn't even arrest them and he has no evidence other than his 'visions'. There was nothing he could do about it. He was not just a revenge seeking vigilante that would just kill anyone that he found who did something wrong. He was a good guy trying to save people from harm.
Umm, the reason he did not go after those people is because they had already done those bad things (past tense); it was not an 'active' crime happening at that moment so David could do literally nothing to help those victims (David could not travel back in time). However with the lunatic that was holding a family captive at that very moment obviously there was something he could do for them at that time.
Before you complain about something you should apply this thing called logic.
