U thunk their be manual override from inside. Poorly designed security system imo

may be there is but he simply didn't find it or didn't know where to look for it

I was watching it and thinking: "So this malfunction could have happened to the owner or his kids. They would be trapped inside with no connection to the outside world. And would starve to death".

I understand movie needed plot to happen. But this security was ridiculously dangerous to the owners.

My take is that the malfunction is due to "number 3" hacking the system and messing something up, first thing I thought is that maybe there was an intrusion detection system built in that detected the hack. The fact that "number 3" knew something was wrong ("Oh, fuck!") even before the alarm sound and the "system malfunction" voice alert kicks him makes me think that it had something to do on his side.

"Nemo" made things worse when trying to shut down the alarm by tearing apart the console, you can notice that it goes from a "system malfunction" message on the screen to garbled image and temperature control as soon as he cuts something from the back of the console to shut down the "system malfunction" voice alert (the alarm sound kept going on).

With a normal use, that system malfunction should never happen to the owner or the kid.

Also, the flat was expected to be empty while the owner was on his (long) business trip. Would he be at home when a system malfunction occurs, I'm sure people would notice that he and/or his daughter are missing and come to their rescue. Especially, the doorman of the building should know if they are at home or not, and would get suspicious if he didn't see them for some time.

Nah. Its electricity and everything can malfunction at any moment for various reason. They built self driving cars or ordinary cars and then recall it because something is mulfunctioning even if it should not.

There could be earthquake, electricity shut off, computer virus? fire.... anything. Like we saw here with thieves intruding. They could have done it while owners would be inside and then owner would be trapped too. Contract killers could just hack that system to kill owner like that.

Such dangerous security system should not exist. The one that could trap owner inside and then heat him to death, shut out water and no connection to outside world. And it failed too. Thief got inside no problem. It looks like it was easily hacked from outside.

Not "borin" at all. Well worth seeing.

Its just silly. The alarm doesn't trigger a police alert, no one at the alarm company follows up, the fire alarm/sprinkler vast water flood doesn't trigger a fire department break-in, response from the building.

It might be a high art vehicle, but I just couldn't really climb on. If I'd have been in the theater, w/o fast-forward, it would have been absolute torture getting through this.
