There are things in this movie that I couldn't understand:
When the culprit wants to lease the property, did the female realtor ever checked his credit and other important and absolutely necessary information of this applicant? She just accepted what he said and she so easily believed? How conveniently she just got the lease listing from the owner just lived across her house. And when the FBI agent showed her his FBI license and requested to talk to her about the resident across the street, she just let him enter her house? Did she ever think this FBI guy was just another con artist, or in order to save some explanation, the realtors in all the Hollywood movies were just like her, taking whatever people said for granted, agreed to lease a property, allowed a stranger into her house, without any further verification?
We all knew that the realtor license in America never was easy to get. There are tests, examinations to pass before getting a realtor license, and it needs to be renewed regularly. There are seminars and classes to train the licensed realtors about the scams, the cons, the dangers that a realtor might have to face or to deal with. Even the applicants could submit the required materials to prove they are qualified, but in nowadays America, experienced con artists still could easily fool the realtors with all the fraudulent papers, fake credit scores, fake referrals, fake employment records, fake current pay stubs...on and on, to fool a seasoned, well experienced real estate agent.
Yet what we saw in this movie and many similar movies, real estate agents are morons and so easily to be fooled.
We all know that almost no pawnshops would still open after 5:00PM, they won't open after dark, albeit deep into night. Yet what we saw in this movie was a pawnshop was still open in a pitch dark shopping lot.
We also saw the culprit, the protagonist tried to fool the pawnshop owner who again, like the realtor so easily to be fooled. And why the culprit saw another car approaching and parking outside, he suddenly became so panic? Why?
Well, all the scenes, all the scenarios we saw in this movie were just conveniently arranged for this movie, and it claimed it's based on a TRUE STORY. Yeah, right...you think I'm that stupid?
