Gregor is the most interesting character


For sure... I was disappointed that he died and all that but he was just awesome throughout the movie to that point. I always like sort of "3rd-party/neutral" characters. People who mess with both the heroes and villians simultaneously for their own ends. Plus he showed that even if you look like a total nerd you can still kick ass! Admittedly his attempt to shoot a random little girl was insane but meh everyone has flaws.

I agree. But De Niro's character figured him out early on with that cup feint. Saw that Gregor wasn't some geek, he was a KGB trained Stasi agent.

I don't think the reflexes had anything to do with his training, it was just Gregor personally. The impression I got was that Gregor and Sam either knew each other or knew OF each other, from back in the Cold War. Sam was just testing him....
