Plot hole: There's no way nobody could have heard the ruckus when John brutally slams the guy and knocks him out with his elbow on the plane, especially the people sitting right in front of him. (00:22:15)

Suggested correction: You are making an assumption. The plane was taxiing; there is a lot of ruckus. As for the people in front of him, one was reading and the other sleeping, so quite distracted. The sound could have been some luggage falling.

Questions

Question: The villain's whole plan was to force John Matrix to kill some foreign president by holding his daughter hostage. So why at the beginning were they killing members of his unit? That seemed rather pointless to me.

Gavin Jackson

Answer: They didn't know where Matrix lived. They were killing Matrix's old unit because they knew if they did General Kirby would make physical contact with Matrix to warn him. They simply followed Kirby to Matrix's home.

Answer: To flush him out into the open. By killing his unit it will make it more likely he will want revenge and come out into the open making him a target.
