This would have been a much more believable situation if they'd used the 'estranged twin' or 'lookalike stranger' approach rather than the nanny. It would have made Nomi's job that much harder and perhaps Jane would have been more easily convinced.
When Nomi encounters Mark and Greta for the first time, her eyes seem to fall on her wedding ring now on Greta's finger, a deliberate act given how Greta placed her hand on Mark, but I also wonder if Greta is wearing Nomi's cocktail dress since from that point on in the movie, Greta gets a noticeable wardrobe upgrade. Nomi's reaction seemed a bit tame for that type of scenario.
In the police station, the fact that the detective uses an easily faked social media page as defacto proof of identity is pretty lame, not to mention that they can't tell the driver's license in Nomi's possession is fake. Also, when being served with a restraining order, like any other court document, the recipient has to admit that they are the person named on the document or be identifiable by another acceptable means. Nomi is there filing a claim for identity theft. For most police, wouldn't that raise doubt as to whether the restraining order is enforceable? The escape from the psychiatric hospital was ludicrous. Hospitals are designed to be occupied during a fire emergency and usually run on a two-alarm system. The first notifies staff of a potential emergency and patient room doors are closed by staff and fire doors automatically close. The staff doesn't run around in a panic chasing patients and losing track of them as the spill out into the parking lot. Also, as Nomi and Oscar leave through a back entrance, we notice that it's fenced, even on the top for security yet the gate is unlocked.
Oh...the rental car. It wouldn't have taken a lot of effort to track down the person that rented the car to Greta or the surveillance tapes.
The police officer that responded to Jane's 911 call must be very fragile since Greta running past her and pushing her into the car renders her unconscious for an extended period of time. In my opinion, something that is overused in cinema. Most healthy people regain consciousness in seconds, not hours unless it's drug-induced.
It was entertaining, but could have filled in the holes a little better. It makes me wonder what ended up on the cutting room floor.
