- Quotes
Dova: Okay, plan. I'm listening...
Guy Foucard: Tell them you will let go of the hostages one-by-one. Then, instead of releasing us, release yourself.
Milo: [slow realization] Yeah. We, uh, pretend *we're* the hostages.
Guy Foucard: And then... tie us up. And, uh... be gone before they come in.
Dova: What do you think?
Law: Hey, I'm a sociopath, you know what I think.

The film is also a classic tale of inhumanity, on how far people need to or will go to save their own skin, on choices. It sounds cliché, but the movie doesn't come across that way in the least. Overall, I recommend the film for a lazy Saturday afternoon, like it was for me.
