SPOILERS ALERT - why does the lead character...


... put all those dead bodies in BIN BAGS, does he not even remotely suspect that their body parts may begin to smell, blood might eventually drip out of them and that those people in charge of garbage disposal might eventually at least SUSPECT something and thus call the police and may have those bodies traced back to him?

Or did Thomas Jane's character have a perfect back up plan, maybe he used some kind of expensive top notch bin bags with multiple layers and whatnot, maybe he sprayed those corpse parts with some kind of clever chemical or anything?

Or did he just put those parts in rubbish bags and believe nobody would notice, suspect anything and track it back to him?

I wonder if anyone's picked up on it.

P.S. Its STILL a very good film though. But I have to admit, it definitely does require suspension of disbelief in at least some segments. Even if its essentially a black comedy crime thriller flick that is in places undeniably darkly satirical. From the first frame with the store lady annoying customers, to several bits in between, to the notorious "gender reversal scene" that "we all know what it is", to the episode with the male torturer inspired by Reservoir Dogs' Michael Madsen character, to the most bizarre cop possibly ever played by Mickey Rourke and other bits here and there.

Though that movie is inferior and average at best, but...

In the Steven Seagal film "Into the Sun" (2005), at least the lead character SPOILERS, at one point, had a special body disposal team that got rid of all the evidence of his involvement via special means and substances.

So did in a way at one point the team in the first "John Wick" (2014) movie.

But here, it just seems like Thomas Jane's character simply puts the pieces of those dead bodies into black bin bags and just gets rid of it like very standard rubbish, not even bothering all that much if those who do those bag disposals might at least suspect something. :)
