Smoking?


Ok, Dougray Scott's character takes a cigarette out about five or six times during this movie but never once smokes it. Pretty pointless thing to bring up i know, but its out there now... Any thoughts?

Yup can't show people smoking...but bloody, violent killings are fine.

I was just coming here to mention this... it was the most frustrating aspect of the film for me. Annoying, like he chose that mannerism and used it as a marker for the character but completely forgot that a normal person would actually smoke that cigarette at some point...

No my dear, procrastination is an art form!

This annoyed me too! I was starting to think it was an electronic cigarette like Depp has in The Tourist, but apparently that wasn't the case either, lol

That's crazy, I was just coming on here to mention that. The more I watch the movie, the more it annoys me too.

Maybe it was just kind of a nervous tic.

Well, as somebody who tried to quit smoking few times - That's one of the tricks. Placebo effects it is.
Also, in detective novels policemen usually have that habit of chewing unlit cigarettes and cigars.

He was trying to quit. I've seen this a few times in films.
