Bloom's story was easily discredited

Not only that but they would easily tell if the footage had been edited and even if he deleted it it's easily recovered plus his Internet history would show he search the cars registration number so he clearly lied to the police.

It was an ok movie but he would be arrested in real life even for just following the chase at high speed or entering two properties after a crime, for the first property he had no excuse the family was outside and the police where on the scene.

Yeah I agree. I know people are falling all over themselves about this movie, but police should have easily been able to piece together enough evidence to at a minimum follow him around for a few days and catch him staging crime scenes, tampering with evidence, not aiding dying people when he had the opportunity to do so, etc. etc.

Your comment and the couple of replies so far miss the point of the story. It isn't to address every detail of whether Bloom can actually get away with everything, it is to focus on him, his character, his ruthlessness, his being disingenuous with others, his using people, his extreme focus on doing what is good for him with no regard for what might happen to others. It is a character study, and it is fiction.

Fictional movies, precisely because they are fiction, rarely if ever are "air-tight" if you dig enough to try to find possible inconsistencies. Even the greatest fictional movies of all time. They all require viewers to focus on the core story and not to get too hung up on some of the details. I know many viewers like to do that but I don't see how that can help enjoy the overall story.

I too had mixed feelings about this. I think he could have been very easily caught if this was real life, but as a movie it works to suspend our disbelief.
For me, what made the movie was my discomfort that he actually got away with it. I WANTED him to be caught, and was disgusted that he didn't. As an allegory, it's pretty brilliant. Think about how much capitalism, privilege, media sensationalism, etc don't get caught for their moral crimes either.
I liked Gyllenhall's character as an allegory more then a realistic criminal.

So you are assuming that this guy who spends all his time on computer, wouldn't know how to edit a video and delete original?

He doesn't need RAW footage after he's done editing it. He can also format the memory card and write over it to prevent data reconstruction.

Actually, how exactly will detective get warrant to search for all these videos? Cause she has a hunch he did so? That would land her in trouble more than Lou.

Who says that she didnt? We only saw a couple scenes after the climax of the film. We assume that he got away with everything because he seemed fine in those, but that doesnt mean that we won't ever get caught for the crimes he committed.
