He'd seen too much. They didn't want that to happen again.

Generally, it is considered more polite to put the warning for the spoiler in the subject line, and then the actual spoiler inside the post. People tend to be annoyed whien you give away major plot points in the subject line.

He did not seem in much pain for someone who had his eyes ripped out! Then again that summed up the whole movie for me - pretty silly film.

BTW I did laugh at the OP spoiler alert

He wasn't in pain because they drugged him before taking his eyes.

And because it's a tongue in cheek, over the top kinda film, which worked for me

because he looked cool with sun glasses and blood running down his face?

he sort of reminded me of The Crow in those scenes ... and yes, he's probably the only guy who would look good even with empty eye sockets ...

ask the spokesperson, I don't have a brain

Sands's implies that out right killing him will have serious consequences (marines up the kiester). Merely, maiming him on the other hand, along with Sand's earlier behavior, could be considered a less serious offense and achieve much the same purpose.
