Stupidity: One of the major reveals and plot twists of the movie lies in the fact that a certain character is an accomplice of the medium. The reveal, though, does not explain at all how said individual managed to fool Poirot; the trick briefly shown involves a simple rope pull to open a door. Poirot was looking exactly for that kind of trick, paces around the room constantly on maximum alert, and examines the door itself later. Likewise, it does not explain where and how they could hide the stuffed animal.

Stupidity: Ben passes out on the living room floor. Before Jack leaves, he places a lantern-type flashlight a couple of inches above Ben's right shoulder. Apparently, Ben's first move when he wakes up in total darkness is to move his right hand from alongside his body to behind his shoulder, where he just happens to find the flashlight. Even if Ben's first reaction is to feel for a head injury, his hand does not go high enough to bump into the flashlight. (00:02:12 - 00:02:40)
