Stupidity: The deaf girl, Regan, went out on her own to try to help others. The very fast alien creatures popped up sporadically (could attack at any time in an instant), but Regan barely looked behind her while walking to see if any were coming after her. (00:38:30)

Rosewood Lane (2011)

Stupidity: In the opening scene, Sonny has come to her now-deceased father's house. Police and the coroner are in the basement taking notes while standing around the body - which is face down and awkwardly lying at the bottom of the steps. Det. Sabatino informed Sonny that the death was ruled accidental due to a high blood-alcohol level. Detectives or the coroner did not rule out other possibilities: natural cause, suicide, or murder. High blood-alcohol level could be secondary.

Gully (2019)

Stupidity: Angela ran over to her neighbor Mr. Charlie when she heard him come home. Angela was complaining that his son and friends make too much noise, do whatever the want, are bringing property values down, act wild/crazy, draw attention to everybody, and she doesn't want the police coming. These may be legitimate complaints, but the way Angela expressed them would bring down property values! Not only was she yelling in the street, she used "m-f-ing" several times, as well as other select words. (00:02:35 - 00:03:07)

Backtrace (2018)

Stupidity: When the police officer goes to Mac's foreclosed house and asks Lucas (who just came out) for identification, Lucas does not start looking for his wallet/ID. Instead, Lucas tells the officer he thought the auction was that day and was interested in buying the property because he needs space for his horses to run. Before Lucas produces ID, the officer gets another call and has to leave. The officer leaves without even jotting down the license plate number of the SUV. (00:39:58)

Backtrace (2018)

Stupidity: The metro police officer (and co-conspirator) went to the old cement factory where the other bank robbers were. Since the police officer (accomplice) wanted the money and did not want other police officers to be nearby, he called 911 and made an anonymous false report stating he spotted the person police were looking for and misdirected them further away. Maybe a good idea, but he made this call using his own cell phone. (01:12:20)

Meskada (2010)

Stupidity: Noah chases one suspect while Leslie chases the other two. Noah eventually pulls out his gun and says, "Stop, police!" Leslie doesn't even try to draw her weapon until she hears sounds from the nearby brushes - but she barely has her hand on the holster when she turns around and gets punched in the face. Leslie is knocked over and the other man she was chasing repeatedly hits her in the face, quite hard. Her injuries could have been avoided simply by having her gun ready to aim and use. (01:04:48)

Born a Champion (2021)

Stupidity: Lyla does not like the idea of Mickey fighting and initially does not want him to agree to the fight. Lyla eventually tells him "okay", but he must stop when she tells him to stop. This may give her a reason to go to Dubai, UAE with him, but she is about 8 months pregnant. An international flight has some risks plus she would be far away from her OB-GYN doctor if there were a complication. She should have had enough sense to avoid international flights/traveling so close to her due date.

The Book of Henry (2017)

Stupidity: While "sneaking" away from the school during the talent show, Susan squealed her tires pulling out of the parking spot (which wasn't in the best place for sneaking out). She speeds out of the lot and down the road, squealing her tires again making a sharp turn and cutting off a driver. These are ways of drawing attention to oneself and increasing the chances of being detected. (01:22:32)

The Book of Henry (2017)

Stupidity: Henry's plan was supposed to be perfectly timed, allowing his mother 45 minutes. It doesn't make sense to waste time - and increase the chances of being spotted - by having her go home to pick up the rifle when she could have simply kept it in her vehicle's trunk.

Stupidity: During the lightning storm, Hannah and Connor did not stop running through the open field when they reached the low point (dip). Hannah kept telling Connor to run, stop, and crouch even when they were headed uphill. It would have been safer to crouch at the lowest point in the field. Connor fell a couple times and Hannah also fell (or got struck) - both ending up doing one of the worst things - lying down on the ground instead of minimizing contact. (00:53:39)

KeyZOid

Stupidity: When the thunder/lightning starts, Hannah correctly tells Connor "We gotta get downhill." Then she tells him to run and stop, plus shows him to crouch down. Granted, they needed to act fast, but her instructions were poor for someone supposed to be trained in safety. Crouching should not entail placing one leg from the knee down onto the ground - only the balls of the feet should touch the ground and the heels should be together. She didn't tell him NOT to lie down, but he was when he fell. (00:53:14)

Wrath of Man (2021)

Stupidity: For someone trained like "H", it was absurd that he would run down the center of the road toward masked gunmen and get shot multiple times. It was also ridiculous for him to have taken his son to a location that was potentially dangerous and put him in harm's way in the first place. (01:13:20)

Suggested correction: I'm not sure how much H was trained. If I recall correctly he's a skilled criminal, and all his "training" was faked so he could get the job with the company. Regardless... training or not, all that goes out the window when your child is being attacked. Paternal instinct took over and he was rushing in to protect his son. As for your 2nd point, it's made clear that his task was to simply stake out what was supposed to be a routine truck route. They had no idea the truck was going to be robbed.

2067 (2020)

Stupidity: After Ethan "lands in the future", his spacesuit catches fire. He removes his glass head cover (so he can enjoy the smoke in his face?). Instead of following the well-known "drop and roll" technique for smothering/ putting out the flames, Ethan stood there and patted the flames on his wrists and legs with his gloved hands, but the flames were spreading. His next idea was to remove the spacesuit. After a short struggle getting it off, Ethan was no longer "on fire" - so now he dropped and rolled. (00:29:39)

Into the Storm (2014)

Stupidity: Four H.S. seniors are sitting in an SUV. A storm quickly intensifies and Billy gets out of the back seat to get a better look (wipers are on "fast"). Seconds later, Billy spots a tornado coming. Marcia (driver) tells Billy to "get in." Needing to flee the fast-approaching tornado, Marcia wants to leave as soon as Billy is in the SUV, so she yells, "Billy, get in!" The tornado is feet away when Billy closes the door - whew, he's safe! Marcia STARTS the SUV when the tornado starts bashing it. (00:01:14 - 00:01:38)

Mrs. Doubtfire (1993)

Stupidity: Mrs. Doubtfire used the bathroom without first locking the door, enabling Chris (or anyone else) to walk in on her. A man who is dressed as a woman and doesn't want anyone to find out would make sure the bathroom door was closed and LOCKED. (01:07:09)

Suggested correction: Daniel is in his own house, and he may be used to using the bathroom without locking the door. Besides, he probably only thought he was going to be in there for a short time.

The Lost Husband (2020)

Stupidity: At the outdoor market, Libby told her old girlfriends that she'd "be right back" and went into a stall in the women's room. Soon, her girlfriends came in but stayed in front by the mirror. Without bothering to look if anyone (particularly, Libby) was in one of the three stalls, they started talking negatively about Libby (e.g, " Ugh, what is it about her that is so irritating?", "I feel sorry for her", "She looks like she's wearing a Halloween costume", "She's like a lumberjack"). (00:55:08 - 00:56:00)

The Virtuoso (2021)

Stupidity: After the Sheriff was shot in the neck but was able to run into the woods, he hid behind a wide tree trunk. He shot at the Virtuoso but missed. Instead of staying behind the wide tree trunk and shooting again as the Virtuoso advanced toward him, he flees from tree to tree where the trunks are not as wide, giving him less protection and more of a disadvantage. Eventually, he is killed by the Virtuoso. (01:21:48 - 01:22:26)

The Virtuoso (2021)

Stupidity: There were three vehicles parked in front of Rosie's Cafe when the Virtuoso arrived before 5:00 PM. As he walked past the vehicles, he surreptitiously took photos of the license plates to help him identify the likely target. The Waitress' Jeep was parked apart from these vehicles, on the side of the restaurant. The Virtuoso went by the restaurant's front windows where the target possibly could see him and took a photo of the Jeep's plate. (The fact that no-one noticed is irrelevant).

The Virtuoso (2021)

Stupidity: A majority of what the Waitress did was highly questionable, but her manipulation of and reliance on the Virtuoso to kill the (impostor) Sheriff (in particular) was foolish and could have very well led to her not being able to complete her mission. The Waitress made the Virtuoso become suspicious of the Sheriff by saying there was something "off" about him and his badge didn't look real. Believing he positively identified and killed "White Rivers", the Virtuoso could have easily left the area.

The Virtuoso (2021)

Stupidity: Throughout the movie, the Virtuoso did many things that were contrary to being a shadow and not leaving any evidence of his presence. For example, he often wore gloves, but not when picking up a knife in Rosie's kitchen. Each time he went into the motel office, he interacted with the clerk and called attention to himself by asking for coffee but leaving before the clerk returned. He fell for the Waitress' advances, met her after the restaurant closed, and let her come into his motel room.
