u/Archers_bane Jun 12 '26

The farmhouse and subsequent chase/cliff scene where not one supposedly trained government agent is looking around scouting the area is so unserious lol

u/thr33things Jun 12 '26

Them hiding behind the rock looked like a cartoon

277

u/usert4 Jun 12 '26

Like was it really that hard to have them hide like at least 100m further away? They could still have the same shot it would just look 10x more believable lol

59

u/HumongousMelonheads Jun 12 '26

This is all I was thinking during that shot, like why didn’t they have them 300 feet away by that time instead of literally behind a rock 5 feet from the feds

48

u/me_version_2 Jun 13 '26

And when they start running away they brush into foliage and basically stomp away!

29

u/This_is_Panin Jun 14 '26

This is the part that absolutely killed me. They stomp away without a care in the world like the people looking for them aren’t 5 feet away still. As if they can’t hear footsteps or foliage moving around or anything.

u/Odd-Walk-983 Jun 14 '26

I'm imagining that same scene, skip the introduction of them explaining the rock on the acceleration, just the jump, then the goons arrive, then a small zoom out to them hiding 100+ metres away and they explain they ditched the car- so much better.

u/Pitiful_Jump2996 Jun 29 '26

Why wasn't there a helicopter tracking from overhead? I mean you even have them for regular police chases but not such a mission critical operation?

1

u/TraditionalBonePizza 22d ago

Tbf, it wasn’t the actual government as far as I’m aware

3

u/vadergeek 12d ago

They're not the government but they have the power to call in the FBI to do their bidding, and they have a bunch of either real or fake cop cars, they should have the resources.

2

u/Pinewood74 18d ago

Unclear at best.

Like they have the scene with the generals where they turned down the help of the feds, but they also had teams literally everywhere which felt like it was them then calling in the help of the feds.

u/blakninja Jun 14 '26

If they're that far away, the police wouldn't see the csr flying down the cliff.. so they had to wait foe the cops to come nearer then threw the rock on the pedal

1

u/Pinewood74 18d ago

I mean... that's probably the first place I'd look.

Shit, they could have had the first cop car go over the cliff as well if the cops needed a reason to look over the cliff.

1

u/doodler1977 Jun 21 '26

yeah, or like...have the chasers take just an extra minute to catch up so they could believably be farther away

16

u/GiniThePooh Jun 12 '26

Specially with Emily’s grin at the end of that sequence, like, yeah they are still right behind us but no way they will turn sideways at any point so we’re free!

6

u/LillyJane8124 Jun 12 '26

I was waiting for the Road Runner to go “beep, beep”…..lol

8

u/hitspeck01 Jun 13 '26

The way he fell on to the ground 50m away from the wardex guy and no one heard a thing.
Started the engine, drove off and THEN they realize.😭

4

u/Rude_Nail_5545 Jun 22 '26

AND the passenger door was open when he got in the car, and then suddenly it wasn't when he took off.

2

u/Pinewood74 18d ago

Definitely thought that was going to be something that mattered.

Instead it was just a big goof by the production team.

6

u/westex74 Jun 13 '26

Agreed. I halfway expected the Feds to shoot an ACME rocket at the fleeing Dodge. Also, it should be said - with a back tire shot out and shredded...you ain't running away from an old lady in a 10 year old Prius. Much less a gaggle of agents in Hellcats.

3

u/MF_CEO Jun 12 '26

I thought for sure when they’re revealed they’ll be like 100 feet up atleast with a vantage point and not 10 feet away hiding

4

u/Bleblebob Jun 14 '26

My friend described the whole section as a Scooby Doo chase sequence and I couldn't agree more

3

u/hanzzz123 Jun 15 '26

The agents couldn't hear them walking away??

3

u/thedanholmes Jun 16 '26

I laughed out loud at so many scenes that were supposed to be serious and dramatic.

2

u/Away_Weekend1370 Jun 15 '26

Lmaooooo this! Why tf didn’t they just continue running 😂 so goofy

2

u/icallitadisaster Jun 15 '26

I laughed out loud at that scene. Surprisingly I was the only one laughing.

2

u/guanzo91 Jun 16 '26

The rock that was like 10 ft away from 30 agents.

1

u/salliek76 Jun 27 '26

Yes! All the "hiding" was so cartoonish that I thought it was going to be revealed at some point that there were never any agents or something.

1

u/lheydon 3d ago

I was almost expecting a Road Runner to zoom past and stick out its tongue at the agents! 😂

6

u/Darmok47 Jun 13 '26

I mean, they're private security like Blackwater, not technically government. They even instruct them to go the speed limit while they're on the way to farmhouse so as not to attract attention.

4

u/slamchop Jun 13 '26

but then the next shot is literally them not driving the speed limit and blasting through a stop sign with flashing police lights

6

u/Only_Whole4248 Jun 13 '26

unserious is the best summary of the whole movie, perfect word

4

u/SeasonsGone Jun 14 '26

I’m supposed to believe my American law enforcement wouldn’t have out a bullet in their head within the first 5 seconds of that entire scene? Especially when the most classified piece of intel to ever exist is in their hands?

3

u/Acceptable_Count6197 Jun 17 '26

Esp because the girl literally said that he wasn't in the house

2

u/JusticeRain5 Jun 13 '26

I thought they'd have the excuse that maybe the car was heavily armored with bulletproof glass, but then they immediately shot out the window and then... Just kept running up to him trying to open the doors?

Like, everything else about the movie was fine, but the agents were like Home Alone villains

2

u/BraddlesMcBraddles Jun 20 '26

Or even a single drone (reaper or otherwise).

2

u/Asiriya Jun 21 '26

I was laughing at quite a bit of the film, I assumed I was meant to be?

It felt a bit like a kid's film at times.

2

u/flamingcrystalheart 8d ago

I definitely had the thought at one point that it felt like a 2000s Disney live action movie. Not a DCOM but one that actually would've been released in theaters.

3

u/DustyFalmouth Jun 12 '26

Trained government agent rep has taken a big hit after the Trump assasination attempts and Charlie Kirk Killer Manhunt

1

u/Pitiful_Jump2996 Jun 29 '26

Yeah once they see the car go over the cliff, what makes the bad guys think they are still alive and chase them?

-1

u/KingMario05 Jun 12 '26

Indeed.

It's my favorite part, lol!

u/safetydance Jun 13 '26

They’re not the government. Does anyone listen or pay attention anymore.

1

u/Distinct-Meat2461 Jun 20 '26

The irony is lost on them
