Frank was NOT smiling


I've read these threads here about how Frank was "smiling" during Sarah's scenes where she splats. I JUST saw that scene a minute ago. If you watch the film carefully, from the moment Frank is outside of the chopper, you will see he has the same facial expression when Mike Rooker (Hal) comes over on the wire. So it all clearly has something to do with the environment (chopper, wind etc). Of course none of this was real, so he was directed to use those expressions, but it had to be based upon fact/experience.

Gotta admit though, it sure looks odd.

Some people just make a weird, grimacing face when tense. This guy seems to be one of them. What I don't get is that the director didn't warn him to be more careful about that, because it just doesn't look right for that scene.

Let’s look at the evidence: https://imgur.com/gallery/D7OYfdx

Frank is clearly grinning with excitement, and descends into gut-busting laughter as Sarah falls.
