I mean the part where he gets the flash drives, and the best and most logical use he can come up for with them is going to the head villain's own apartment and confronting the guy. I mean if they had shot our hapless hero, which in reality would've been more than likely with the amount of trained guys they had assaulting the home, nobody would've known anything and they would've even had justified cause with the whole breaking and entering. Unless I'm mistaken he was bluffing with the "I copied the USB drives" comment and that's how interpreted that last scene where the bloody drives are shown in his car and the best use he really could think for them was to go and deliver them right to the guy who was looking for them and confront him.

Agree with your criticism, but didn't detract too much from my enjoyment of the film. Thoroughly entertaining, despite the absolute absurdity of that chase to the underground. If that extended sequence had been more restrained, the whole film would have benefited.

I didn't mind the chase scene and wouldn't say that it made the whole film any worse, but I did find the twist really obvious halfway through. However like you it didn't detract from my enjoyment of the film. But the film would've been elevated without the obvious twist.
As to the OP's comment about the final scene, I did wonder about the USB drives and why it lingered on it. Pretty much concluded he hadn't done anything with them...

My issue with the chase was the absolute disregard for human life all the police showed. Given how careful police have to be when discharging a firearm, the idea that they were spraying bullets left right and centre, firing an automatic weapon from a helicopter, as well as his colleague driving for ages along a sidewalk, was just so ridiculous. The best 'chase to the underground' scene I've watched is in the British BBC TV series 'The Shadow Line', fantastic series and a really tightly executed and restrained scene.

Lol when you outline it like that, yeah, it was ridiculous. Although you did forget how Boseman and the other guy got hit by a car and then got back up again and ran immediately :)
I suppose I was more thinking during that entire chase if Sienna Miller's character would actually intentionally kill the guy. Again, the whole obvious twist really bugged me because I did enjoy the film otherwise.
