Mechanic: Resurrection picture

Stupidity: When Bishop is first holding the gun on Gina in the cabin, he stands close enough for her to grab the gun and try to get it off him. A man of his experience would never make that mistake, it's one of the basic rules of controlling someone at gun point: Stand more than an arm's length away.

Triple 9 picture

Stupidity: The bodyguard takes Michael's pistol from him and later shoots the pistol near Michael's ear, deafening him, then beats him a bit and leaves him on the ground. As the bodyguard is walking away he gives Michael his sidearm back by ejecting the magazine and tossing the gun on Michael's body. He however didn't eject the bullet in the chamber. Michael's gun, a Sig Sauer, doesn't have a magazine disconnect which prevents a gun from firing with a magazine removed. This was a safety feature for police. (01:33:00 - 01:37:00)

Stupidity: Quaker has to go to the airport himself to be told that the guy picked up by the tampered cameras is not the real Dutchman. The whole affair should have been settled by smartphone much earlier.

Suggested correction: We're talking about Amanda Waller who had no issues murdering innocent government employees that were accidentally exposed to her top-secret Suicide Squad program they weren't cleared for (versus making them sign an NDA not to talk about it as in a real-life accidental exposure to uncleared employees). Waller just took the easier option which was to threaten to kill Enchantress if she didn't obey versus spending countless dollars (and exposing more people to Waller's program) trying to cure her.
