Contrived coincidence. Literally every important scene is mired in this. Oh we want them to get away? Oh gosh golly this little bit of fire that's actually barely an inconvenience allowed you to escape! Oh we want to show the girl is tricky? Long chase scene which is laughably terrible as the girl proceeds to run a 1mph.
The director clearly didn't know how to make anything in this work. The timing is off, everything is convenient, and nothing feels right. I feel bad for the actors having to try and make this work.
It's like the cliff notes version of visual story telling, it's comical.
