CCTV? *spoilers*


First of all, I LOVED this film but something slightly botherd me when I thought about it afterwards. Now I haven't read the book so if they explain this in there than I'm sorry but, surely there was CCTV on the offices?? And so there would be footage of Steven going into the boss' office and putting the corrupt disc in his computer, and they would be able to see him rooting around in all the different peoples offices every morning? How come no one caught him?

Also Edward Hogg was absolutely adorable in this film, I hadn't heard he was in this so it was nice surprise :)

Even now, a lot of office-based businesses only have cctv on the entrances and not in the offices themselves, I doubt there would have been any back in the 90's.

It's hot... but not as hot as the night Johnny Viti got married...

In the US if an office had CCTV spying on employees, that would be a scandal. Unless the guy had put up his own security cams in his own office. And he didn't seem like the sort of person who realizes the dangers around him.

Also Steven didn't seem to take much pains in covering his tracks in general. When he killed Roger, he didn't even try to make it look like an OD, which would be completely believable. But I guess he tried that the first time when he peed on him (and is it going to look like an accidental OD if the cops find him covered with pee?), but Roger apparently really was a bear.

And when he framed the cop and coerced him into chopping up Rebecca and disposing of her, and then told him to *beep* OFF, that cop would possibly have rolled over with the whole thing -- admit he had a lot of evidence for Roger's murder, that Steven killed Rebecca and made a blackmail tape. IMO if the cop blabbed the whole thing, he would go down but take Steven with him. If he just goes back to his old life with the cop-job and the wife and kids, with this blackmail tape always hanging over him ... and he ought to suspect that Steven isn't done with him. Steven will expect favors from the cop for all eternity. That's my opinion.
