* SpecialEffectFailure: It's obvious that the recorded video footage is a high definition video pasted over handycam or cellphone given how recordings of handycam or cellphone back then are usually shaky and grainy, not to mention it lacks signature such as timers.

* DamselScrappy: Creator/KimBasinger's performance as Jessica Martin: For one thing, Basinger, especially during her scenes with [[BigBad bad guy]] Creator/JasonStatham, is so ridiculously [[LargeHam over dramatic]] with her [[InelegantBlubbering awful whimpers]] and [[NervousWreck nervous]] [[StutterStop stuttering]]. Not only that, but her performance as a whole was widely inconsistent, as if DependingOnTheWriter. What doesn't gel about Basinger's character is the [[ScreamingWoman shrieking]] [[ComicalOverreacting over-reaction]] to [[ViolenceIsDisturbing violence]] together with the [[TranquilFury calm]] reconstruction of a telephone; the totally [[WimpFight girly fight]] she puts up followed by [[DamselOutOfDistress an accurate]] [[SlashedThroat slashing]] of an artery and the then almost [[DullSurprise nonchalant]] [[PreMortemOneLiner explanation]] of the damage she had done to him and [[ChekhovsSkill how much blood he was going to lose]]. Even when Basinger is first trying to [[CassandraTruth convince]] Creator/ChrisEvans that she had been kidnapped [[CreepyMonotone she sounds so bored]] and [[EmotionlessGirl uninterested]]. Her role in general seemed to be [[ExpositionCut short of lines]] in some places but overdone in others. And what we ultimately got from Basinger was a decidedly [[HystericalWoman shrill]], [[TookTheBadFilmSeriously overly-earnest]] and sometimes deathly wooden acting job.

** ''Connected'' (2008 Hong Kong remake): [[BigBad Senior Inspector Fok Tak-nang]] is the [[DirtyCop corrupt Interpol agent]] who, along with his men, brutally executes some drug dealers and steals their contraband. When they got caught by an innocent bystander, Roy, with his camcorder, Fok sets his eye to Roy's sister by knocking her out with his vehicle, ransacking her home, killing her maid and abducting her to an abandoned house in which one of his men destroys the phone. Fok then abducts Roy’s friend, and when his sister refused to tell where her brother is, Fok shoots him and plans to abduct her daughter and [[WouldHurtAChild threatens to do the same to her]] if she refuses to cooperate. He also orders one of his underlings to impersonate Roy’s sister. When he found out about Roy’s sister contacting a stranger who interferes with their plans, Fok threatens and tries to shoot Roy and her own daughter in cold blood. When he got the evidence that proved his crimes, he deletes it and prepares to kill the protagonist Bob. Ruthless and willing to do anything to get what he wants, Fok makes an average dirty cop look like a saint.
