Honestly it wasn’t a well thought out movie imo. It doesn’t make sense for the Mona Lisa to react to sound or to open back up since a thief can still just grab it as long as they are quiet. And if they make a noise, they can just wait for it to reopen. There were also other parts like how they had a extra bracelets for the detective AND Andi when Miles didn’t expect either of them to come and how Duke never realized the gun pressed against his cock was stolen (which, side note, isn’t a great place to keep a gun in case it misfires). Also parts like how the book stopped a bullet at not too far range and why Blanc was given Klear at the beginning and kept the volatile explosive in his pocket the whole movie. Last ones just a personal thing but it made no sense how Miles helped everyone in the beginning. This idiot with no money somehow got them all jobs/startups? Seems like the director of the movie was as smart as miles and just didn’t think things through a whole lot

As a Script Supervisor in TV & Film - I promise you things like this get asked to a Dir / Writer all the time and quickly we get told “it doesn’t matter” or “nobody will notice”. So it’s very possible many questions were asked but esp when the Writer IS the Director there is no checks and balances.

Thank you for this insight. I honestly kind of hate it because I know someone on their team had to notice this stuff and the director/writer is given a shit ton of money to make the movie and will still ignore these issues.
You’re a filmbuffy I suppose so maybe youll know of what I’m referring to, but I remember watching Gattaca and thinking how the hell does this man who’s been in a wheelchair for years and never leaves his house have a healthier heart than some of the other characters who train daily. It’s the small details that can turn a good movie into a great one
