Agree that somehow these movies all come out in the wash despite these blunders.
They should take a look at TV shows which prioritise realism in the future: The Wire features reporters making up serial killers and Nation of Islam assassins; both of which are just every day facts of the street. Characters are named after catchphrases they use, I.e. prop Joe, and they never get tired of saying these catchphrases. Small details but it is REALISM. The world has been brought to life.
See also, a middle aged man successfully taking on an entire cartel in Breaking Bad. Everyone knows that criminals are stupid and a sufficiently motivated vigilante can run rings around them. They’ve EARNED my trust with attention to detail like this plotline and the main character’s wife nagging him.
