| Goofs | Incorrectly regarded as a goof. These guys also kill the hotel security officer, but no one seems to care that he is missing. The hotel would have a record of the noise complaint and that he went to the room to investigate. He had to have told someone. The investigation into his disappearance should have been quick and resolved easily. See more » |

| Quotes |
Boyd:
If you take away the horror of the scene, take away the tragedy of the death, take away all the moral and ethical implications that have been drilled into your head since grade one, do you know what you're left with? A 105-pound problem that needs to be moved from point A to point B. See more » |
