     I agree that this film is ridiculous (and it's another film partly
ruined by the "twist" last scene).
     But it is variously entertaining along the way.
     Josh Hartnett (it seems like ages since he's headlined a film!)
stars as Cooper, an apparently good dad, with a secret! A big secret!!
     Cooper takes his teen daughter to a concert - think Taylor Swift
crossed with Alicia Keys.
     But the entire concert has got insane security/cop presence, and it
turns out that's because they are all there to catch a serial killer!
Who it turns out is Cooper!!
     With the entire place surrounded, will Cooper be able to figure out
a way out of the concert with his daughter without getting caught?!

 
I couldn't figure out how they were planning on catching the guy anyway.
The only evidence they had on their suspect was the ticket receipt
indicating he was going to be at the concert. They didn't know what he
looked like, they had no fingerprints or DNA-- not that they could compel
them from random concert attendees anyway-- so what was the point of all
this?
 
If Cooper had just walked out and then been wrangled into the line with
all the other men they were questioning, how would he have been caught?
He'd just answer their basic questions like all the other guys and then
walk out the other side like all the other guys. At most he'd have to take
into account that he'd now be on an FBI list of guys who were at the
concert, which might make getting away with future murders a little more
complicated for him, but that's about it.

Why didn't they check who bought the seat indicated on the ticket?
Wouldn't it be easier to get a list of attendees and narrow it down?

I did like the mid-credits scene here. Heh.

 
I don't think I caught that. What happened?

>
The killer-obsessed shirt-selling dude realized that Cooper was the
killer, and that he had inadvertently helped Cooper, and ends up cursing
himself, and then says he can never talk about this to anyone!

Why?
