What does the title mean?


Anyone know what it means?

Also ... Premise was good. Acting was good. Plot was not.

I thought this was going to be a little different, somehow incorporating more of the terrorist subplot. The story would've been fine without. Probably better since it really has nothing to do with terrorism. There's another "lesson" here; maybe not lesson, but a message.

Also not exactly sure what they tried to do with the ending. I suppose just to add some of the "outside world" elements, since it's during terroristic times. And it obviously doesn't matter; director/writer also knew that since they just left it open that way. Again, if it doesn't really add to the plot, why put it there.

The axiom is "Possession is 9/10 of the law."
I found where it apparently came from the world of Real Estate.

Also found this nice description:

It means that the person in possession of a piece of property may have some claim to it, whether it can be proven to belong to them or not, and it can be difficult to prove that you own something that someone else is in possession of. (Yahoo! Answers)
