Most Contrived Death Scenes + Danny Huston

Easily the silliest death scene was Emma's friend stepping out of Gibson's car and getting run over. What kind of hitman does that? How did he know the exact moment she'd step out? Maybe I'd have to watch it again, but was he racing back n' forth during their conversation?

You know what he could have done would've been smarter than running her over? Anything.

How about you roll up next to their car and unload an assault rifle?


Then there's Gibson's daughter. They poison her twice, first with radiation, then with lead. Makes no sense.


Gibson: They bring him back to the evil head-quarters to poison him despite the fact there were so many opportunities to just kill the guy and be done with it. Why risk moving him around? "Because it can be traced back to his daughter." Yeah, because that's been working out so well.

Then there's Danny Huston. This guy sucks as an actor. Worse, he's type-cast as the bad guy. Always.

If it's not enough that you immediately recognize him as the bad guy from a half-dozen other movies, the costume people put him in a double-breasted suit. If that's not enough, he's the head of a "defense" contractor. If that's not enough, his corporate headquarters is built into the freaking side of a mountain. If THAT'S -- yeah, I'm not close to finishing. If THAT'S not enough it has big glass walls. And, and, AND they show him shaking hands with Bush and Cheney.
