Dummy shopper link edit
Right now, the article links to dummy purchaser, even though that article does not discuss the credit card fraud practice that occurs in the movie. That article discusses two practices. One is the use of a purchaser who disguises the true nature of the purchase, i.e. a commercial developer having a "dummy buyer" purchase vacant lots in order to disguise the potential value for the future commercial development, and avoid spiking the price. The other is the use of someone who has some sort of special squatter's rights scenario in Australia. Neither of these has anything to do with the practice depicted in the film. My deletion of the link was reverted with the explanation that "the link helpful for readers who don't know what a dummy shopper is," but this is not true at all. In fact, the link is uniquely _unhelpful_; it contains absolutely no information relevant to the readers mentioned there. It would be like linking the transpiration article when the word "transpire" is used to mean "happen." I am going to revert the change back to my version.

Delete ‘themes’ edit
The “themes” section is tenuous at best - mostly just plot points, original research and comments from reviews. I suggest deleting it. Newzild (talk) 08:54, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
