Maybe so for most of the problems, but the detail which kicks
Foxx's character out of passivity is seeing that the Federal
prosecutor is #5 on the hit list. This creates two problems
which mentally threw me out of the film: 1) prosecutors don't
get hit in the US, and 2) Cruise already knew about her. She
was the first target, and he had already visited the building
looking for her at the start of the film. In fact Foxx only
met him because he was coming out of her building after not
finding her. It ruined the film for me.
