Rhames' performance is hilarious

Especially at the very end. The scene where he threatens Kelly Hu with a knife and says "why would anyone want to kill Mary? why?" and the final scene with the main bad guy ("I put on a good show, didn't I?"; also don't miss the face he makes after the villain says "a little motivation") are comedy gold.

I've watched those scenes a hundred times and they get me every damn time.
