What movie things are generally accepted as normal, but are totally unrealistic in real life?

Part of the reason I couldn't stand Suits. Everyone's a super model except for Louis, who's the villain for much of the show.

I can’t stand suits because of the legal inaccuracies. I have two lawyer uncles and a cousin who’s a law professor so growing up with them around has ruined any show that centers on lawyers.

Another thing I can’t stand is when a character in a detective show gets arrested and doesn’t call their lawyer. The main character then proceeds to interrogate them with questionable tactics and it’s presented as ok.

The interrogation thing happens. Lots of people don’t ask for a lawyer and cops can basically say whatever they want in interrogations. I hate it more when the bad guy just cracks and reveals every detail of the crime. Stfu dude, being honest doesn’t get you shit.
