LIST of bad moments LOL

Loadssss of stupid stuff that irritated me in this film (although I did find it suspenseful, these spoiled it)

- There was a big metal poster sign thing in the ATM with them, the 3 of them could have easily ripped that off the wall right when it all started and easily attacked the killer.

- When the innocent guy comes in to use the ATM and he is mistakenly attacked, he didn't scream or cry out once when he was conscious - this would have possibly indicated he wasn't the guy they were after!

- The security guy comes to investigate after spotting 'HELP' written on the windows, the windows are also smashed. It is very obvious that something bad has happened! Yet he doesn't get on his radio straight away, no he walks out to have a good look first before even thinking about picking up his radio, resulting in him getting killed.

- They finally find a lighter in the dead guys pocket enabling them to set of the sprinkler, however they had already checked the guys pockets earlier (when the were looking for some ID) so wouldn't they have found it then.

- The girl sits on his shoulders holding that red hot metal bucket to set off the sprinkler and alarm. The alarm goes off, her hands are burning .. but she is still there on his shoulders still holding the bucket for agessss (no need, the alarm has gone off love) anyone else would jump straight down, not sit there that long resulting in her finally falling off and hitting her head.

- When it turns out it's been "framed" to look like the blonde guy did it all by blacking out any parts of the CCTV footage that would show the truth, wouldn't the police clearly figure out "hang on, this footage keeps blacking out and skipping chunks of time" then realise what the blonde guy tells them (the truth) could very well be happening during these black outs.

- Finally, it was laughable in the end scene when the public was allowed to literally stand only a few feet away from the dead bodies behind the cordon haha surely there would be a bigger perimeter than that.

I literally just finished watching this disappointing movie..
The end, the cctv footage jumping does give the impression of cut footage however, it actually wasnt.
The door to the ATM was open the entire movie, he could have easily entered and killed but he didn't because he was staying out of the perimeter of the camera.
The footage jumping was just bad editing, skipping to the important clips that show the blonde guy acting crazy.

I agree with you about a few other things such as holding the bin for so long while it was on fire and also sitting on his shoulders.

My favourites were the girl screaming, it's too late! when they should've been attacking the guy saving their friend.

Or the 3 of them watching him kill the guy with dog, and the security guard. It would've been 4-1, each person grab a limb and they'd have him down.

Plenty of things they could've made weapons out of. Smash the liquor bottles and you have a nice stabby weapon.

But my favourite dumb moment was when they finally bravely run out to help their friend. One of them says, let's get him to the road, and the other says, No! We have to get him back inside! Whhyyy go back to the atm??
