It surprises me that so many Hollywood flicks have those sorts of screenplay issues, i.e. they don't just do the obvious thing and provide the payoff, but instead stray in some peculiar, non-functional direction that derails everything in the exposition.
I wonder if it's screenwriters over-correcting ... trying to produce something clever or literary and just ending up with a stuck in the middle mish-mash of weak plot directions.
