7 Mistakes You Won't Believe Every Hollywood Action Movie Continues To Make

3. Why Is It Only Ever One Person Saving The World?

Possibly the biggest flaw of a number of action films is how the only hope in saving the world is just one person. How on a planet of around 10 billion people can just one human being know what to do in order to save the whole world from oblivion? It's a bit farfetched, isn't it? What are the police doing all this time when the hero in question is running around killing every enemy in sight? Despite having all the specialist intelligence forces available, it seems an obvious advantage in tracking down and eliminating their enemy has been ignored in favour of one brave character who always seems to be against liaising with the local authorities, as they regard the character as a vigilante. He's always alone, yet the sheer law of averages would suggest that in Earth's population of billions, somebody else is bound to twig onto the simple truth everyone else is missing. Mission Impossible III is a good example of this €“ despite having a team of field agents and analysts, the film's finale always comes down to the actions of the main character saving the word from oblivion. The protagonist in question is always doing their work unbeknownst to the relevant authorities too. Surely they should be in cahoots if they're trying to stop an enemy of the country. Die Hard is certainly another. Character John is always saving the world on his own and is being criticised by the police for interfering, despite the police doing nothing to help and the hard-to-kill one having a pretty sterling track record when it comes to dealing with terrorist threats. It makes no logical sense, but that's Hollywood. It's all rather pathetic and predictable, and also shows how many holes are in every action film regardless of what rating it gets on IMDB. Why one man is allowed to have the fate of the world in his own hands is beyond me. To suggest there is nobody else in the world that can be of help to this character is a ridiculous notion, but that's what they'll have you believe in action movies.
