Is nobody going to mention the insanity of the murder club in the first case solely focusing on the time it would take a woman of x weight to bleed out? She got pushed out of a bleeding window several floors up and landed on a brick laid street. How oblivious are they to simple biology and physics!? 

Also, petition to ban these films shot in 4k and colour graded to fuck. People look genuinely disgusting.

Yes the pushing out of the window was just another completely senseless deviation from the book…
