6 Baffling Mistakes Every Movie Criminal Makes

If you have ever een a movie revolving around a criminal or a group of criminals, than I guarantee you will recognize some of these.  These criminals always seem to make the same mistakes, so it’s no wonder why they almost always end up failing in the end.

From the list:

Working With Far More People Than Necessary

As Seen In: Oceans 11, 12, 13. The Departed, Panic Room, Bonnie & Clyde

Sure, they might not need a lot of people to pull off a job, but won’t the innocent bystanders be impressed to see a dozen dudes strolling into the bank in ski masks?

Wrong. Absolutely freaking wrong. First of all, let’s think of the motive that drives these characters. Greed. For them, it is indeed all about the Benjamins, and the fact of the matter is, the more people involved in the crime, the smaller the shares, and therefore less cash for everyone.

Second of all, with so many people in on the plan, the odds of getting caught rise exponentially. Hell, how many people would you trust with a secret that could send you to jail?

Worst Offender:  The Oceans 11 series

This only gets worse as the series goes on, and they have to keep inflating the roster and the size of the heist. By the fifth or sixth movie they’ll have enough guys to rob an armored car by just gathering around it and carrying it way.

So true!

See the rest

    I think this is why the Joker killed off all his bank robber ‘helpers’ in the Batman movie…. he was smart…or crazy, or both.

    Movies are so predictable….. :)
