Driver walks right up to the O.R. On what planet is that possible ?


If anyone works in a hospital like I do, you would have found that scene to be totally insane.

reply

With everything that happened up to that point I am willing to let that one slide. Besides, everyone knows the key to slipping through any hospital security protocols is jelly doughnuts. Don't act like you've never accepted one.

reply

Maybe into the lobby.But not the O.R. There are layers of secured doors in need of pass cards and layers of security.Not matter how small the hospital.
What year and country are you living in? I'm from the U.S. and that's mandatory security for all health facilities.

I have 30 years working in the O.R. in 4 different hospitals.
How long have you worked in a hospital?

reply

Actually that was all meant as a joke, not a request for your resume'. Some of you guys take things way too seriously. It's a B movie that doesn't try to pretend it is something more. Get over it. As I said previously "With everything that happened up to that point I am willing to let that one slide".

reply

The guy survived a point blank shot to the back of the head, yet him getting past hospital security suspends reality too far for you?
Like the other guys says, let it slide...

lmfao.. 30 years and 4 hospitals? LOL. In all your wisdom you have no friggin clue. I've worked in an OR for 4 years and have worked in over 20 hospitals from travel assignments. There is no "mandatory security" law. JCAHO nor AORN mandate that doors must be secured with passcodes or Rfid Badges and even if they did, it still isnt the "law". There are plenty of surgery centers and larger "real" hospitals where the only thing keeping someone from entering the OR are double doors with the word "Restricted" on it so everyone knows to be in proper attire. Oh, and this is in Houston, the medical mecca of the US.

The outlandish scene you speak of is just an artistic exploration - predominantly influenced by German expressionism - into the subjective perspective of the protagonist and his distorted emotional reality in which his own feelings and needs supersede the reality-based opening and closing of the hospital doors... or not.

Would you try and stop him?

reply

Dwayne Johnson is totally inconspicuous. He could go anywhere and not be detected. They probably thought he was just a petite OR nurse or something.

reply

suspension of disbelief is a term more viewers need to learn. as one said its a b revenge flick who cares if everything makes perfect sense, what matters in this movie is the awsome rugar super redhawk alaskan pistol, the awsome goat, and the rock kicking ass and tacking names in a real action movie for guys rather than doing another disney movie for kids. this and doom are my favorite rock movies because he doesnt give a *beep* in either movie.

reply

Kind of like the suspension of disbelief that the 4'3" Vic Mackey could physically intimidate anyone especially hardcore Los Angeles gangs.

reply

Well the hospital I work at in Australia, all he (Driver) needed to do was grab someones security badge, and just scan the badge to open the doors. Simple.

Then again, I dont really care how he did it lol

The planet - Earth.

The city - Henderson, NV.

In a Dwayne Johnson movie.

Any other questions?

I know you must be new to movies, because from that statement clearly you've never took notice on any number of superhero/action movies. If you want flaunting the boundaries of stupid, just look at any number of courtroom dramas, take American series JAG for example. The amount of times the judge says 'I'll let this one pass' when it is clearly the most stupid and irrelevant question ever (and in a real court they wouldn't entertain it and the lawyer would probably look like a complete idiot) it is ridiculous. And you can go through any superhero movie (spiderman, for example) the convenient lack of security, or even of a person that could shoot... literally you could go on forever. Movies aren't meant to be a mirror of real life, the background merely exists to support the good guy winning the end, not the other way around.

Man, this thread fails! Just a lame excuse, for a smug, douchey OP to say "well I work in a hospital, so im privy to all this inside information. And its such information that stopped me from enjoying the film"

Wow, that sentiment really required a thread on here? Pathetic....
