8 Movies That Didn't Know Who The Bad Guy Was

7. Ghostbusters

Let's role-play for a second. Assume that you're a lawyer charged with the task of representing the EPA. All of a sudden there are claims of a rogue group of parapsychologists capturing ghosts and storing them in an unlicensed hazardous containment center. Do you think, possibly, you might react even just a little like Walter Peck does in the movie?

First of all, you'd have to even try to believe that ghosts are attacking the city and being hauled away by a bunch of weirdos in jumpsuits. Doesn't that seem a bit, I dunno, suspicious as all hell? Wouldn't it be more likely that a bunch of recently fired PARAPSYCHOLOGISTS are trying to scam the good citizens of New York out of their rent checks by faking this whole set-up?

Secondly, hey, maybe those aren't actual ghosts in their containment center, but whatever the hell is in there doesn't seem very above board. Also, these supposed busters of ghosts are refusing to allow you access to the containment center, even though that's part and parcel to your job. Oh, and their ringleader insults you all the while obstructing the contents.

So then...might you obtain a warrant to investigate exactly what's going on here? After all, these men are clearly acting outside of the law, don't have permits for what they're doing, and won't cooperate with what appears to be a pretty routine checkup.

I'm not saying Peck does everything correctly, and his rash decision to have them completely shut the whole system down was stupid, especially considering that inspector he had with him seemed a little iffy about the whole situation. But give the guy a break. He's just trying to enforce the law!
