This just doesn't make any sense.


GUY1: I really want to show how useless air marshals are and also make a lot of money. I already have an excellent plan, do you want to help me?

GUY2: Sure, let's hear it!

GUY1: Easy. Let's find two air marshals who will be on the same flight: one who is willing to smuggle drugs, the the other one with a trouble past. Then we open up 100 accounts in different countries in our fake names and a trust account in the air marshal's name. Let's just use another fake ID for that.

Here is a checklist for the things we need to smuggle in our carry ons and through security and hopefully nobody will ask any questions:
- 2 full sized parachutes
- a couple of little poisenous darts
- a drill

Then we will go on the plane, hack into the secure network and let Liam Neeson know one person will die every 20 minutes. He will probably really freak out and make everyone think he is a crazy terrorist. Then at exactly 20 minutes later, we will arrange a fight between the two marshals, based on a small misunderstanding that could just be cleared up if they actually talked about it. But since they're both so messed up, they will just fight and since Liam Neeson is stronger, he will definitely kill the guy.

For the second murder, we just sneak in to a bathroom that is conveniently located right next to the cockpit. Then we will drill a hole in the wall without anyone noticing and poison-dart-kill the pilot.

GUY2: So how do we get money?

GUY1: Oh yeah. We tell Liam Neeson he can stop the killing with a transfer of 150 Million Dollars to the trust account. He will talk to someone important and have it arranged.

GUY2: ok...

GUY1: After we quickly kill a random passenger with a dart, news will have left the plane that Liam Neeson is a deranged terrorist. Then we just take our parachutes, open the door and jump out before the bomb explodes. We then swim back to the States or Iceland or Ireland, whichever is closest.

The bomb will destroy the plane and everybody on it will die. Then we make sure to get Liam Neeson's death certificate before the FBI will freeze the funds on the trust account. Then the funds will be distributed without leaving any traces, we safely collect the money without raising any suspicions and live happily ever after.

So, are you in?

GUY2:...

GUY1:?

GUY2: Sounds AWESOME, let's do it!!!!

Hahaha that's hilarious! And right on the money!

reply

Lol. That is brilliant!

i think the movie was way impossible, but entertaining nevertheless! i was hooked until it got a bit too crazy. But still.. a good watch for sure, lol.

reply

Spot on, but a surprisingly enjoyable movie nonetheless!

ROFL !!!

This movie had a lot of weird logic, but it was still entertaining, while 90% of movies I have watched recently have been boring.

Really if you analyze ANY movie, you can find so much ridiculous logic and plot holes, so it just shows that all directors and writers are terrible with preventing it. Some of the highest rated movies I find less believable than this movie. lol.

One thing about this one... how were they going to even get their money? lol. Like the money wouldn't be taken right back out before they could get it.

Also, why was one of the 2 villains sitting next to him in the beginning??? He wouldn't have even able to text him from the seat right next to him, obviously, so what sense did it make even getting a seat next to him?

reply

If the black guy had stayed sat next to him, the white guy at the back would have been texting, whilst the black guy acted as the friendly guy doing his best to get in Bill's good books. Kinda ruined by being a douche up until the 'moving seats' bit.

Stranger things have happened.

reply

Yes they have happened and Netflix made a TV show about it.
