Started off really promising, but the nonsensical actions the characters (mainly Ethan) make is just absurd and takes down the movies quality drastically very quickly.

[spoiler] At every turn the characters actions insult the viewers intelligence, every time the character has a chance to do something to stop the bomb, he manages to screw up. I could ignore some of the smaller things here and there, but major shit just happens and he just makes it worse with every opportunity. For example the briefcase, did I just not get it? Why was it implied he was going to switch out the bag with the bomb, only for him to mark it for the cargo, why not just switch it out completely and leave the bomb at the airport instead of letting it on the flight even if it was in the cargo. I get he had the tracking on it, but even then it was a stupid decision, if he could have just taken out the gas cannisters like he does on the plane why not just do that and hide or run away with them? Why did he just let his boss die? He could have at least tried to shoot the Mateo guy which he thought was a part of the crime group and gesture to his boss to be quiet and disarm the bomb, yes it wasn't certain that it would work this way, but way better to just let the dude get stabbed or better yet, why didn't he just shoot the fucking traveler guy in the bathroom and then run for the package and isolate it and start evacuating. His death is literally never mentioned in the movie again, innocent dude just dies because of him and it's shrugged off because the hero saves his girl, also that other "spotify wannabe musician" guy, he just gets stabbed presumably with the same poison they used on the first cop that they killed, fantastic writing right here, but the hero gets to go on a vacation so it's all good. Also why did the hacker van guy even still go after the girlfriend when the main "traveler" got the package on and was headed for the plane, why not just call off the stupid attack, if she died than there would be no reason for Ethan not to call out the bomb right away resulting in the flight being grounded? Earlier in the movie his girlfriend stopping directly in front of the window for the sniper to mark her, why not just drag her out of the trajectory, if they shoot just a single shot then the whole airport would be once again completely shut down, they didn't really think this shit through at all, and he goes out on the parking lot chasing her down for what? There is literally nothing in it for them just problems, also the dude in the van somehow freed himself and saves the couple because why not. [/spoiler]

[spoiler] And then there is the stupidest fucking detective lady over there showing her complete incompetence from the first scene we see her in where she almost crashes into a police car at a fucking CRIME SCENE because she is on her phone. This just gets worse with every scene she is in. She just pulls out a fucking gun on the fake homeland guy driving?? and then the idiot starts causing cars to crash every fucking second on the highway? what was his plan? Then she somehow has the authority to just tell people what plane can and can't take off? what? Why is she able to just tell them what the fuck they should do if they know there is a REAL THREAT at the airport.
[/spoiler]

Everything in this movie just frustrates me so much, because it pretends like the group is full of professionals making it out as if the movie is gonna be very tense and less action focused, but then it turns into this sloppy action garbage with no sense behind it. So sad this is the final product as it had a great premise. I spent more time writing this shit then they spent on the script.
