Like what's the thought process here, under what circumstances would your phone being on and able to ring or receive notifications ever be a *good* thing in this scenario

Is it even a realistic mistake to make? The audience gets a humorous jump cut to him in the disguise but in real life he'd have to have spent a while picking out clothes, checking himself out in the mirror, etc before leaving for the mission

You're putting on the evil warlord's evil garish designer suit and his evil alligator shoes and his evil jewelry and all this stuff you say you would never wear in a million years in real life

And during the process of getting dressed you're like "Oh better not forget to put my real phone with my real contacts and my real emails in Mr Evil Warlord's jacket pocket"

I ask this, of course, because this is on my mind because of many real-life insurrectionists apparently going through this same thought process before going to storm the Capitol

The weirdest thing for me is that anyone thought it was suspicious. Even crime lords have sisters. Him not thinking to keep it on silent was just... I dunno.

They thought it was suspicious because he was, in fact, already acting very suspicious

Like the fatal moment wasn't actually the phone going off it was him staring at it paralyzed with indecision, which is very uncharacteristic of the ruthless warlord known as the Smiling Tiger

He was made down at the bar with the shot. If he had experience at playing a role he would have known to not order anything or to order something like a shot of vodka - either approach would have maintained his cover

Yeah well he kind of naturally froze up when the bartender said "The usual?"

Right. Which is an aspect of his character not doing that kind of thing. Although now I'm imagining the Michael Weston voice over for the scene.

I mean I feel like saying "Nothing for me tonight, thanks" might be even more suspicious, depending on the kind of guy the Tiger is I feel like Sam was just trying to avoid talking as much as possible (surely the Tiger would have a different accent)
