1. It's mandatory to grab a six pack of beer when you're being shot at.

2. The first thing you should do when you're in the witness protection program is to give your closest relatives your new phone number.

3. If you really love your dead brother, dig his body up and burn it in a car. It really shows you care.

4. When everyone thinks you're dead, you still have to kill two people for some reason.

5. It's necessary to kill witnesses after they've already told the FBI everything they saw.

6. If you're keeping a hostage alive so she can answer the phone, you don't let her answer the phone?

7. The Toronto Mafia...? Seriously....?

8. If someone sees your face, you have to kill them immediately. Unless they're an auto mechanic, then you don't have to shoot them.

9. John Madden needs to step away from the directors chair, and get back to football.

10. Ducks don't land in trees.

11. You have to kill the guy that takes you duck hunting.

12. A gun in your waistband can magically teleport to your boot.

13. If you're going to rob a house make sure people actually live there first.

14. When you have a rifle and you know people are trying to kill you, it's best to use the rifle like a bat against them, instead of actually shooting them.

I didn't realize how little sense the movie made until I read this.

I thought the same thing about #7. You're right on most counts. But it is a thriller, after all. If it all at least holds together its doing well.

You can drive from cape Girardeau Missouri to Detroit Michigan and still have it be the same night.

17. When you hire a hitman you've used several times in the past, make sure you send the girl you have a thing for to let the hitman in ... even though you know he always kills any witnesses.

"16. There are no surveilance cameras at the hospitals, only one eyewitness to kill, at the most; if you miss, while you accidentally shoot your brother in front of her, don't follow thru, just let her go... " Yeah, that one was the biggest goof: why the hell did he not kill her? He seemed to be killing everything else in sight. Oh, and why did the FBI need the Colsons when they had the nurse to testify? I guess this detail was forgotten somewhere along the way.

"16. There are no surveilance cameras at the hospitals, only one eyewitness to kill, at the most; if you miss, while you accidentally shoot your brother in front of her, don't follow thru, just let her go... "

I think this is WHY Blackbird is so obsessed with the Colstons. He's trying to not make the mistake that killed his brother. He DID make a mistake not killing the nurse...so he has decided to never repeat it.

1.If someone as appealing as Mickey Rourke is at the door make sure you answer it with your breasts exposed.
2.If you are 'forced' to remove your clothes by another character make sure the director gets sufficient money shots of your sexy body especially if you nearing 50.
3.Rosario Dawson thinks Mickey Rourke is a sexy beast.Beast yes, but not sexy.
4.Giving an over the top performance(yes you Gordon-Levitt) makes you a compelling character to the audience.Wrong-it just makes down right annoying.

Life is too short for us to love.Where do we find the time to hate.

I don't get these threads. Are the people trying to be smart, or funny, or both?

It's not working.

I'm not trying to go against you, but there are several points you made that have a valid reason for happening:

#3: He wanted his dead brother's body to fool the FBI into thinking that it was him who had died.

#4: Blackbird still wanted to kill the two witnesses because he explained to Richie that his dead brother's body was "just to buy some time". The FBI would soon find out from detailed autopsy that the body in the car had died long ago (and realised it was his kid brother instead of him).

#5: Same as #4.

#11: Blackbird killed Lionel because Wayne was a friend of his. When he first went back to see his grandmother and talked to Lionel, Lionel was just bidding farewell to Wayne. Blackbird wasn't sure if he saw his face or remembered him, but given his nature as a professional hitman, he had to be sure. He had to eliminate Lionel to prevent Wayne from ever getting to him.

#12: Richie tucked his pistol into his waist around the pants. When he ran inside the real estate office, his pistol got loose and slipped into his pants. It got stuck in his boots and so he had to take off his boot to retrieve his pistol.

#13: Lionel actually commented on this, implying that Richie was "retarded" (which we know he really is). That would explain why Richie was dumb enough to rob a house that is empty (put up for sale).

#7 - Toronto Mafia is legit. It just doesn't get the media portrayals in the US like the NYC and Chicago mob.

"10. Ducks don't land in trees." Indeed they don't.
:)) I found your post funny, even though I liked the movie.
-When you are a contract killer who kills eveyone who's ever seen you, team up with a half-wit loud @ss criminal who introduces you to his acquaintances and involves you in blackmail schemes where everybody in an office can see your face
-When a mob boss is deploying all forces trying to kill you, make an appointment with him and ask him for a favor, armed with the powerful bluff of a letter that you wrote to him(very important evidence that, a letter from a known killer) and other circumstantial evidence that will not even get him arrested, let alone build a solid case in court. What the he11? He's a mob boss. They can't afford the best defense money can buy.
Forgot one:
-When you are willing to kill your girlfriend so as to leave no witnesses, you will take pity on the old lady who just provided you with your victims' phone number(and only means of finding them) and give her a back rub, so that she will remember you perfectly.

I agree with all of your posts. However, I don't think it was clear that he didn't kill the nurse. He may have done so.

[–] Crista480 15 years ago

No, he was dragged away by his other brother(the one who went to jail), so he didn't have the time. Plus, if he had, they would have shown it.

Its better to call from ur partners cell phone than to call from a pay phone.

its always nice to enter a office (potentially full of witnesses) to demand some 20k when u r a PROFESSIONAL killer.

Its normall to attack 2 armed hit men in a open space with a pipe and than make them run.

Nice to have alarm in hospitals just to have a touch of prisoner camp

Its necessary to kill all who might have seen your face but its ok to leave ur half dead brother IN A HOSPITAL who might tell every thing about u to the cops anyway.

Law enforcement should never conduct surveilance on the witness' home because the hitmen would never return there to look for clues.

15. If you happen to be Canadian citizens living in Toronto and you are harassed by the "Toronto Mafia", the FBI will come to Toronto and encourage you to go into the american witness protection program.
