Ten Movie Characters' Incomprehensible Mistakes4 of 10
"You may think you know what you're dealing with, but, believe me, you don't."
The mistake: Near the end of the film, Jake learns about Evelyn's secret and how dangerous her powerful father, Noah Cross, is; he slips out of the police and tells his friend to take Evelyn in Chinatown. At that point, no one could tell where Evelyn was. Yet Jake finds nothing better to do than confronting the same day, Noah Cross, with the only evidence that could have put him away (the broken glasses) and without any protection or weapon.
The consequence: Noah brought Claude with him, Claude takes the glasses and threatens Jake with death if he doesn't take them to Chinatown. One hour later, Jake realizes that he should have done "as little as possible".
Alternative: Why such a hurry? How about 'waiting' for Evelyn to leave L.A. and then finally give the evidence to the Police?
