The Wrong Car (2016 TV Movie)
4/10
So Many Problems
21 June 2021
Warning: Spoilers
The movie was OK but there were just too many plot holes that made the movie very very frustrating.

1. So, even if you had a few drinks, no way you're jumping into any ol' car if you're a female taking ride share (NETCAR) home from a nightclub alone at night. You most certainly will check to make sure the car and face match before jumping in.

2. How did Trudy's college classmate and NETCAR driver, Charles, even know she was going to be at the club that night to set her up to be raped in the first place? Even if he somehow knew her and her roommate were headed to the club, he had no way of knowing she would leave alone ahead of her roommate.

3. Why would you pick the same club to keep going back to to commit these abduction and rape crimes? You keep picking the same club, the cops will eventually do a sting operation and put in a decoy victim for you to pick up, you know, like what Trudy and her roommate ended up doing? And why would you leave the aforementioned victim in the hotel after the rape/abduction. Better to drop her off on a park bench across town from the hotel instead of making it easier for the cops by leaving her at the crime scene? She would not have remembered being at a hotel, much less, which one.

4. Please explain to me again the logic of Trudy taking a job as a NETCAR driver. She wanted to think like him and/or get into his head? Well, let's see. We already established that the perp who raped her was NOT a NETCAR driver, so the logic of taking a NETCAR job makes no sense if that was her goal.

5. So Trudy's grand plan was to go stakeout the club and wait for the perp to show up again and do the same thing to another woman? Yet when he does, Trudy and her roommate follow him back to the hotel and see him dragging a drugged female rider out the back of the car. You go through all that trouble and then don't record the guy committing the crime?

6. Why on Earth would you befriend a rider who pulled a gun out on you and made you pick up his drug dealer friend who got shot and got blood all over your backseat? Yeah, no! You call the police on him instead. Really that whole entire scene and the two

Yeah, so Trudy is the dumbest law student I ever seen and her lack of common sense kills the whole movie.
