Danny DeVito is the true hero of this movie


After much struggling he overcame his anger and resentment towards Michael Douglas' betrayal. Then he saved both Kathleen Turner's life and their relationship.

They shot the frame with Omar as if Michael Douglas just swung out of nowhere, when in reality Danny did all the work, deftly manuevering the crane. Danny could have used the hook to knock Omar without Michael Douglas.

However as a changed man, Danny DeVito saw that he had the duty give the movie the sappy ending that Kathleen Turner fantasized about, and went out of his way to pick up Michael Douglas.

We should all look up to Danny DeVito.

i never really understood why it was Douglas he was resentful of. it was his brother who went off and left him to face the police alone.
