Couldn't the cops track Miller from the reg on his car when it crashed?


Ok I know it exploded but are we to assume that the car was burnt beyond recognition so they could verify who's it was?

I believe he said something like: Let's take your car. Given what happened, I'm pretty sure the car was hers.

It was her car.

Even if you missed the part where he said "let's take your car" did you really think he would be driven around in Maybach but then have 30 year old Merc as his driving around car?

At the crash scene, for a brief moment, the police radio in the background was audible as a female voice explained that the car was registered to the woman. It was easy to miss.

I knew the basic plot beforehand, so I was tuned in to it when he said "let's take your car". I also wondered about airbags, but the police dispatcher said, as our friend above points out, that it was a thirty year old Merc.

I WAS screaming (inwardly) at him to pull her over to the driver's side though. Also, the detective says "Who kicked out the driver's door?" The car had overturned six or eight times, who's to say it hadn't just popped open with the impact(s)? For the same reason, would it be so weird that "her feet were in the passenger well"? She would have been tossed around like a rag doll.

Unless she was wearing a seatbelt...

I really enjoyed the movie but there were many parts where they were reaching like a short, fat kid at a banquet.

Like the cops would have given a damn about what was obviously an accident. And like you said, the car flipped around like a jumping bean but "Oh look, the doors been kicked open". To quote Chris Rock: *beep* Please!
