Trap

Stupidity: Despite knowing how smart and resourceful Cooper is, the SWAT team leaves him alone and unsupervised in the police truck at the very end, which allows him to pick the locks on his handcuffs with the bicycle spoke he had concealed up his shirt sleeve.

Stupidity: There is no security team on earth that would allow a major pop star to walk around in the hallways of an arena without being by her side at all times, not to mention allowing her to be alone in a room with a stranger she just met that night.

Stupidity: There is no way that the FBI/SWAT team would allow a serial killer that they are taking into custody to not only stop and straighten his daughter's bicycle, but also allow said daughter to run up and hug him. This isn't some white-collar criminal being taken away on tax evasion charges.

Stupidity: The behaviour of Lady Raven and Cooper in the bathroom scene does not make any sense. They both reached an obvious point of no return the moment she stole his phone, and he violently chases her. Cooper is never going to bounce back from his actions in the eye of his daughter, but he gives the singer about three and a half minutes of time (on screen, supposedly way longer) to do the most counter-intuitive actions possible, something she couldn't know she would be allowed to do, since obviously a beast of a firefighter like the maniac she is dealing with could, should, would have kicked that flimsy door open in no time. Nor could Cooper know that she wasn't just going to call the police on him right away after breaking or throwing away his phone. Which was all she needed to do.

Continuity mistake: Cooper is back to his daughter after his bathroom break. He tells her that he met the mother of one of the friends she has a complicated relationship with. He holds her close, grabbing her shoulder. But meanwhile, Lady Raven on stage starts talking, and the next shot, father and daughter are in a different position already.
