Revealing mistake: When our lead villain fires his shotgun at the cops behind the pipes, it lands in an almost perfectly square pattern instead of a more natural circle. The impacts look more like gaping exit wounds than where landed tiny pellets. The spread is also way too dense to miss the gaps that leave the cops exposed. (01:45:50)
