Two things didn't work out for me in this movie..



1. Really ? You couldn't give her a better name than ''Goodwin'' ?
2. When Sean asked Derek Frost why he planted the bomb, he said: ''Because the world is hell.''
This is perhaps one of the dumbest reasons to explode a train I've ever heard. Couldn't you (the writers) give him a better line than ''the world is hell'' ?

1. What name would you prefer?
2. The line was weak; but thankfully it wasn't some long drawn out existentialistic BS that other villians love to spout.

The movie has a plot hole?!?
EVERY FRIGGIN' MOVIE HAS A FRIGGIN' PLOT HOLE!!!!!

Goodwin is a surname like any other. Would Baggins, perhaps, be more suitable?

Any long-winded explanation for the attacks would have been counter-productive to the plot. This movie doesn't need a reason for the attack, just that it occurred.

1. I agree, Goodwin sounds lame. Maybe Stuthchengardn or something like that would be funny and still workable with.
2.I loooved that line, and the "You are a teacher, you know". Because it's kind of what a guy who would do that would think, or maybe it isn't, but ok, it worked for me.

1 Goodnight, Gooodmorning, or may be Goodday.
2 The film isn't interested in the philosophical and sociological reasons behind Frost's actions. That sort of back story is for other films and film makers to ponder. Look at the bright side. He doesn't look middle eastern in origin.🐭
