    Career Opportunities falls short in several key areas. First, the film never explores Jim and Josies school days, leaving their relationship superficial and motivations unclear. Second, it fails to reveal how Jim connected Nestor and Gil to the Salzburg murder, creating a narrative gap. Third, the story relies on implausible coincidences: Jims overnight shift stretches endlessly as he cleans shelves, watches TV, roller skates, and tries on clothes; the robbers enter and exit freely through an unlocked back door despite Jim being locked inside; and Jim conveniently discovers the safe key in an unremarkable desk drawer with no prior hint. These conveniences strain credibility and weaken the overall impact.
