Stupidity: Towards the end of the movie, Detective Loki rescued Anna and is blasting his way down the road to rush her to the hospital so they can counter whatever drugs the villain lady put in her. He's in his unmarked police car, but with his blue lights flashing and trying to weave in and out of heavy traffic in what appears to be sleet and rain. Yet he is not using his sirens at all. He should have been using his sirens to get traffic to hear him and move out of the way.

Question: Detective Loki, at several points in the movie, is shown blinking really hard a couple of times. Is this a nervous tick of sorts?

Stupidity: Detective Loki checks in on Father Patrick Dunn and finds him passed out drunk. Dunn is a registered sex offender and drunk, but Loki goes in without backup or further plan. Yes, he had probable cause to enter the house once he saw Dunn passed out on the floor; however, he further explores the house and finds the hidden door behind the fridge. He then enters the basement without calling for backup, without notifying anybody else where he is at, and leaving himself at risk to be locked in. (00:30:35)
Answer: Yes, it was part of Jake Gyllenhaal's contributions to the character to express his bottled-up emotions and inner conflict.
