Who suspected the pregnant woman?


Ok I don't want to be that guy (you know, the kind of guy saying " I knew it" when the twist is revealed). But this movie fails to surprise me because it gives too much attention to the pregnant woman. I know something's up with her and when she's at the police station, I figured out her fake belly is used to hide the money. THis movie is full of cliche. Too bad it should treat the pregnant woman just like other characters.

Well I thought it was obvious she has the money as soon as she said to the Police Woman at the station: "Can I go now? There's some place I really need to be"

you have got to be kidding me! What were the writer's thinking to leave that line in there? IT basically gives the twist away.

Admittedly I didn't figure out she was the guy's sister and I didnt think the money was stashed in her belly.

But I figured he gave her the money and it was in her HUGE handbag and he had asked her to do him a favour by passing the money to the hospital.

IT begs the question though, if you think back to the heist. How did he know that the getaway car was going to leave them stranded and they had to catch a bus?

what exactly was his plan if everything has gone smoothly with the robbery? He wouldnt have had enough time to divide the money into 3 and then get dropped off at the bus station to catch that bus on his own with his own share only.

And even if he did get on the bus normally, why would he need to give the money to his sister as no one would have been persuing him anyways he could easily just pay the hospital himself.

As big a plot hole as that was the only explanation I can come up with is the main character was VERY clever.

He timed exactly when they would do the heist and how long (10 minutes) they had to get away.

Maybe he also knew the bus schedule really well and being that the parking lot next to the casino boat where their getaway driver was parked was pretty close to where they encountered the bus he figured if things went sour their best bet was to hijack a bus so he arranged for his sister to be on the bus that fit the proper timing.

Had the heist gone perfectly the sister just gets off and goes home and nobody is the wiser.

At one point, my whirling brain asked me "is she really pregnant?" but I couldn't say when that was.

I didn't think of it as specifically as it turned out to be, but the thought crossed my mind that she wasn't all she seemed!

Gee Woodle, Space Kadoodle!
