An almost perfect movie, with one minor but highly irritating flaw

Rating: 8/10 (8 July 2017)

The way with movie blends action, mystery and comedy together is amazing. Bruce Willis really is the perfect actor for this role. What I really love about this, is the way John torments the criminals, as if the criminals were in a horror movie. Namely, the elevator scene, where he leaves one of the dead bodies.
However, the way the police were written was infuriating. I can't help but suspect that the writer has some deep personal issues with police in general. I just can't imagine both the NYPD and FBI being that stupid. And it's not an enjoyable "haha" kind of stupid either. Like, for example, when they send one officer to check out the building. This implies that they think there is some remote chance that what John said is true. If it is true, sending one cop in is a suicide mission. It just makes no sense what to ever. Moreover, the idea that criminals would cut phone lines and make it impossible for victims to call police was not unheard of. It doesn't make any sense to ignore a radio call. I'm only scratching the surface on the level of stupidity. I would have to write a whole book to cover it all.
