Decent movie, but some logical flaws just to make the movie more dramatic!

Good story, good production and decent acting.

The acting has some logical flaws. Why would he try so hard to get the baby found? Right from the start he pressured both parents to admit they were lying about the kidnap. In 98% of the cases (if this happened in real life), he would be stressed out of his mind and stay in the background a little while he would think about what to do. In most cases he would be so distant that the other cop would be like "are you alright, whats wrong?".

He gets a confession from the father since he knows that the kid laid on the bathroom floor. Everything is so forced and the only reason is to get the story going forward. Cause if he hadnt forced those parents so hard, the police would treat this as a missing child case and would most likely never even found the child. He would then most likely got away with switching kid, atleast for a few years. But then we couldnt get the dramatic ending the movie builds up to.

At the end he accually tries to cover his tracks by saving to the mother that she should stay silent. I was like "you kidding me", this was SO FORCED and didnt fit with his actions at all. At that point it would be more logical if he wouldnt try to cover his tracks.

Summary: So good movie in many ways, but especially the main character does WAAY to many illogical things just to get the plot to continue. This shows very amateur script since the director focus more of getting further in the plot than the character rational behavior.
