Question about the final bet
Reminded me of Gattaca
Couldn't the police/FBI trace the owner of the house?
Couldn't they have turned around to escape?
How did the team know to look for Sil at the motel?
Why didn't Fitzgerald...
What would you do if you were Rex?
Dredd had a chance to kill Ma Ma
How does this compare with Katyn (2007)?
Do you agree with the mutineers?

That's true, I guess it could have been a red herring for the audience. Watching the movie again recently, I had forgotten that the audience is not supposed to know the truth about the FBI.
Maybe she's relying on a Charisma build. :P
Assuming this isn't a troll, I pity you people who can't just enjoy a good film without forcing contemporary American politics into it.
I wonder what will happen to the Kubrick-Spielberg Napoleon miniseries now that Ridley Scott is making this. From what I understand they are separate projects.
I haven't seen this movie in three decades, but I still remember being sad when Antie dies. They made him cute and loyal like a dog. Even though real ants wouldn't behave this way, it still touches on the idea that all life, no matter how small, can be precious.
That's a fair point about Rocky just being naturally humble. Could be.
The way I read that dialogue was they were retconning the character of Apollo and making him the greatest of all time, giving Adonis big shoes to fill.
Rocky tells Adonis that Apollo was a perfect fighter and that there was never anyone better. He was only defeated by Time.
Rocky is meant to be the ultimate underdog boxer - a man who gets knocked down by stronger, faster opponents yet somehow manages to get back up and keep going after them.
Ed Harris' character explains later that the virus was especially lethal immediately after the lab leak, killing the facility workers in minutes or seconds depending on whether they were able to put their respirators on. After the virus infects the gate guard, Campion, as viruses in real life tend to do, it mutates to a less lethal form which takes longer to kill its hosts, making them think they have the ordinary seasonal flu right up until the end.
If you liked Safe Haven, check out The Void (2016).
Since the crowd in here is probably into historical war dramas, I wanted to mention <i>Joyeux Noel</i> (2005), which covers the 1914 Christmas truce during WW1 from three perspectives (German, French and British). Always brings me to tears.
