    From the sounds of this one and his last one, mel might have a fascination w human sacrifices. It is also at the core of christianity, after all.

    Great observation! I hadn't thought of it before. Bloody human sacrifice to appease an offended God figure.

    Blueblades- Yes, I noted that Texas Hold 'em poker was substituted for the original game of Baccarat. I also thought they cast the two females backwards. The first one that was killed off was more attractive than Eva Green who got the main fem lead. Great acting was not required for either role. This film also had clever dialogue which was a big part of my enjoyment.

    Hemp - My wife and I wondered if that jump from one crane to the other, lower, one was real or a special effects trick?

    From what I've read, everything he did was for real, though I'm sure he had a safety harness on for that one. I noticed they included his name in the opening credits, even though he was only in it for ten minutes or so.
