Movie and outline look good. Of course in movies like this there are many things that aren't realistic; the theme of this paper is not to identify what's unrealistic but rather to determine whether or not the world created in the movie is self-consistent. Try watching the movie with the sound turned off and don't think about the plot; see if the action makes sense and is consistent.
