Full of plot holes and lame writing

This movie can be sum up into a 2 minute clip for some high school project, its so full of plot holes its laughable at best,

spoiler ahead, but if u watch the trailer, u pretty much watch the entire movie anyway.

to identify the woman, this can be easily done so many ways, the spy could fake an accident with the car, road block , or heck just straight up assasination gun blazing before the leave, not like the house is heavily guarded or the car the left is guarded as well.

on site agent has previous engagement with the soldiers, he should be well aware of his cover being blown, yet he didn't bother on make up props, or even a sunglasses or scarf to conceal his identity before walking in a high profile risk area?

if he knew the risk of his cover, he should just ask the bucket selling kid to buy all the girl's bread instead. or ask him to talk to the father ask his whole family to move ASAP, plenty of intel is gather by the pilot and team , knowingly the surrounding area and where she live with how many family she has. its illogical they did not gather any useful intel around the area before even consider any actions, the family could be terrorist candidate as well?? they do live in a terrorist camp site anyway.

final point and biggest loop hole on bad writing is
they have two missile, with high dynamic range crystal clear ultra sharp focusing camera, just blew them when they are on the road, by that time the girl will be still at her home. they don't even need to follow both car, just blew both of them. not like they mention the drone has limited fuel, or time frame, they have plenty of time to do that till the girl leave..

That last point is actually brilliant. Hadn't thought of that.

There is nothing brilliant about it. In fact, it was a really dumb point.

If we are consider they are already in some city, it would not be a good idea to blow two moving cars at street and risk even more collateral damage.

Besides, a moving target may be more difficult to hit

Concerning getting her father, they had no idea if he was sympathetic to the terrorist. Or her father running out to safe his daughter would have tipped off the terrorist.

On letting them leave, you have to use a laser for targeting. Can the drone target two moving cars at the same time? You are assuming both cars would travel the same route, leave at the same time.

Attacking the house had a high percentage of success with low chance of collateral damage, it was well written.

Did you actually watch the movie? It takes 50 seconds for the missile to hit. The house will still be in the same spot 50 seconds later.
