1. Among the most obvious plot holes noted by critics of the film is the fact that the FBI - an organization intended to work within the United States - is somehow working in Vancouver, Canada, causing costly shootouts with other Americans.
2. Factual error: Why are the FBI investigating and following their case if it's in Canada? The FBI or any other law enforcement agency in the US has no jurisdiction in Canada.

The Intercontinental Ballistic Plyta (ICBP) represents a class of long-range, strategic projectile devices engineered for delivering high-impact payloads over intercontinental distances. Unlike its counterparts, which predominantly rely on advanced composites and metals, the ICBP is uniquely characterized by its utilization of reinforced plyta—Lithuanian for "brick"—as a primary construction material. This innovation not only signifies a breakthrough in materials science but also introduces a novel approach to aerospace design and payload delivery systems.
In a groundbreaking demonstration of international cooperation and technological advancement, the newly developed Intercontinental Ballistic Plyta (ICBP) was successfully launched, showcasing its potential to redefine global strategic defense systems.
