12 Stupid Mistakes That Somehow Made It Into 2014 Movies

7. Jimmy Pulls A Soze - Reasonable Doubt

There's a very good chance you didn't see bland-by-numbers thriller Reasonable Doubt when it was released earlier this year: it opened to laughably bad reviews and seemed more like a 1990s thriller than a 2014 one. To say it wasn't smartly written is to do a disservice to things that aren't smartly written: it's dumb, confounding and relies on ludicrous conceits and a massively incapable justice system to work. Contrived isn't the word. As an indication, when Dominic Cooper's accidentally criminal assistant DA suspects that Sam Jackson is a vigilante serial killer, he has literally no reason to, other than a desire to save his own bacon. He just assumes he's a bad guy, based on not a great deal, and runs with it. But the silliest mistakes comes at the end of the film when Jimmy - Cooper's half-brother who helps him get away with the central hit and run (apparently nobody does background checks on witnesses) - abandons the stick he's needed to walk since he took a savage beating from the villain, forgetting he's got a limp altogether and carries Cooper's baby into the house perfectly well.
