Ryder: Life is simple now. They just have to do what I say.

1 quote
Directed by: Tony Scott
Starring: Denzel Washington, John Travolta, Luis Guzmán, Victor Gojcaj
Genres: Thriller
Other mistake: While a sniper is awaiting permission to shoot, a rat crawls up his leg and bites him, resulting in an accidental discharge. A trained shooter, much less SWAT sniper, knows that you never place your finger on the trigger until you are prepared to shoot. Otherwise, you could have an accidental discharge.
Trivia: Denzel Washington wears a yellow shirt and multi-colored tie. In the original film, Walter Matthau wore a multi-colored shirt and yellow tie.

You're probably right.
