There is one part of this movie that REALLY bothered me...

Ok, I will say, right up front, that I realize that it's a movie, a work of fiction, and there are plenty of things we could find fault with. But one part is just to blatant not to mention...

Brian gets on the boat, kills all the guards and then kills the Sheik.

Then they hug and stand there and cry. And one of 2 possibilities exist...

1. No one is now driving the boat and it's going to soon hit something or...

2. There is someone driving the boat and he...
a. doesn't care what's taking place and obviously has no fear of being
included in the "hit" parade or
b. somehow doesn't know what's taken place because
(1.a.) he's deaf or...
(1.b.) doesn't have a radio.

None of the above makes any sense what-so-ever so I'm gonna go with...
(fade to black) "CRASH!!!!!" "Glug, glug, glug"

"He's not Judge Judy and executioner!"

My guess is that one of the people that Brian killed on the boat was also the driver, and that after he and Kim embraced, he drives the boat himself to a safe harbor. He seems to have a lot of "skills," so being able to drive a yacht/boat doesnt seem too far fetched to me.

Is that the one part that REALLY bothered you?
How about this?
1: that Albanian guy, Marko, was listening to Mills 2 days ago over the phone for 2 minutes but can't recognize the voice, and not only that but he believes that an American guy is working for the French police.
2: why do you need a dictionary to find 2 words in it?
Ask the interpreter to write it down in Albanian.
I know that the viewers weren't supposed to know that Bryan wants to ask Marko at the end of the conversation to translate "good luck", but Bryan could have told the interpreter this: "hey, I want you to write something down for me in Albanian", then cut to some other scene.
3: something else bothered me. How can some women be so naive? Like the one who had Kim's jacket. She was shown going to the "party" with some guy she probably met 2 hours ago. Women like them are just asking for getting kidnapped.

1. Why would he recognize the voice? I wouldn't. He probably has better things to worry about than some vague threat. Agree about the police thing though, but a french accent on Neeson must have been deemed to silly.

2. Could have been useful in the future, but yes. Not that it matters at all.

3. I know some women like that, but what I believe least is that these obvious idiots are allowed to traveled abroad. I guess most of them are adults who don't know what they're doing.
