the glass was placed under her finger by douglas

I understood the plot but what a boring piece of cinema.

Also damned convenient that she made out the numbers on a piece of dusty glass which could be turned over and reversed!!!!

How did they know it was in his grave? There was no way they could have known that. Why would they even think of it being there. Why would someone put a 10 million dollar stone in a coffin? They didn't know it was in the doll and they didn't know the doll was in the coffin. Why would they be so sure a messed up little girl would have the grave number memorized? She was a little kid when her father died who was in a mental home since his death so she had no reason to know the grave number anyways.
I still enjoyed the movie which I just watched again since its been so many years since I rented the DVD. A lot of these kind of movies have plot holes but this movie had quite a big 1 and a few others also.

I still think Patrick could have accessed an index of the graves somewhere. Even if the occupant is a 'John Doe', there must be a record of the circumstances of his death.
It seems to me that crooks in films always choose the most convoluted way of achieving their ends, even if it makes them almost impossible to succeed. Maybe they know a film is going to be made of them.

they knew it was a grave and they knew it was on the island that's why Michael Douglas Character said to Sean Bean "i think you know where" they just didn't know which number was
