Furthermore, to add to film??s impracticality, Meg Altman is able to cause a plume of propane gas to ignite from the panic room with impunity, yet the same ignited gas burns the incompetent thief, Junior (Jared Leto), despite the thick wall of concrete and steel between him and Meg. The survival boxes in the panic room contain fire blankets and mouthwash, but no food to alleviate the diabetic daughter’s drop in blood sugar while trapped in the panic room.

I called my mom after [seeing the final cut] and told her, you?...
