    Ok I saw the trailer for this, and I had a WTH moment...since when does your intelligence make it possible to jump through plate glass windows on a high rise building or allow you to survive falling five or more stories????

    Those windows on a high rise are designed to withstand what a CAT3 hurricane pressure and not break.

    Your considering the intelligence index on the wrong side of the screen. The intelligence index that matters is the one in front of the screen, not on it. And in this case the filmmakers have set the pointer on that index near the bottom end of the scale, for the very sound financial reason that there's a strong inverse correlation between the intelligence in front of the screen and the size of the box office take. Look at the colossal financial success of "Transformers" vs the financial returns of a film like "Inside Job" and the correlation is stark and unmistakeable.
