He is a surveillance expert who records a snippet of conversation, the key element of which is...<BR/><BR/>"He'd kill us if he got the chance"<BR/><BR/>..and spends the rest of the movie not knowing if the emphasis in the sentence is on 'kill' or 'us.'<BR/><BR/>I'd be surprised if you haven't seen it so maybe the summary was unnecessary. But I love the difference in meaning brought on by a simple change in intonation. If you haven't seen it, my explanation is a vast oversimplification of a great movie.<BR/><BR/>Watch it while you enjoy some yack butter.<BR/><BR/>Duck slap?Jim Jannottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011357939370487892noreply@blogger.com
