Great answers, you guys! Thanks!
Here are mine:
1) I watched this movie when it first came out in theaters, too, Belle. I've also watched numerous times on DVD. I watched it recently when it aired on TV. I can never get sick of it.
I thought it was a really neat, concise, little thriller. It had really great dialogue and really great suspenseful moments. I also thought it worked really well as a character piece -- for most of the time, it was basically just focused on Rachel and Cillian. Jackson and Lisa were really interesting, well-developed characters, and they were made all the better with Cillian and Rachel playing them. I'd give it a 8/10.
2) Well, the TV version had lots of parts that weren't in the theatrical version or on the DVD, so those parts stood out to me. On a random note, I'd never really noticed that Jackson ordered nachos at the Tex-Mex bar while 'waiting' for Lisa. LOL.
3) I agree, Cait! I loved Jackson!
He was so charming yet so freaking snarky. He had a lot of memorable lines. I loved Lisa as well, Belle. You can't help but love her. She was so smart under pressure, and she totally whooped Jackson's ass.
4) I guess the blonde lady. She was a bit annoying.
But funny.
5) I have so many! They're mostly Jackson quotes...
"That's why God created the Tex-Mex. Best nachos in the airport and right across from our gate. Save you a seat?" (so smooth!)
"When we get out of this, I may have to steal you." (Oh, really, Jackson?
)
"Sometimes bad things happen to good people, like you Leese." (so creepy!)
Yes, I loved "Thanks for the quickie," Cait. I also loved the snarky little, "Sure" he said when he got out of the lavatory.
I loved "Trash," too, Belle. It was like she was calling him trash.
6) Lisa definitely became stronger as the movie went along. She overcame her own personal fears (from the rape) and also overcame Jackson.
7) Jackson went from being sweet to being snarky and sinister to becoming downright desperate at the end. He was so controlled and confident in the beginning, but he eventually became very out of control.
8) Jackson and Lisa are similar in that they want to do their best in their jobs. They are both very strong willed and determined people -- Lisa determined to do the right thing, and Jackson determined to go through with his job. They have very different moral compasses from one another though.
9) Lisa was definitely attracted to Jackson in the beginning. Why else would she meet him at the bar? Her attraction probably diminished though once he revealed his true intentions. I think Jackson's definitely attracted to Lisa. I think he tries to cover it up though, but it's there. I agree, Belle. He definitely knew too much about her prior to meeting her (which is probably more obsession than attraction). And there were some lines that made me think that he's attracted like "When we get out of this, I may have to steal you."
10) He's definitely multi-faceted to me. I personally don't think he's totally evil to the core. I don't think Lisa believed that he was either... why else would she beg him, "You don't have to do this... any of this" when they were in the lavatory together? I think he has some remorse... when Lisa asked him if he'll be killing the Keefe's kids, too, when he swallowed and said, "I do my part and move on," I saw that as remorse. It sounds like he feels bad but trying not to think about it.
11) It was definitely to distract him. I think it was also to convince herself and give herself strength to stab Jackson. I really liked his response. It wasn't too uncaring and almost friendly. Really interesting. And he also seemed to be genuinely concerned when he listened to her tell her story.
12) I think Jackson really meant to kill her. By this time, he was totally out of control. I think Lisa was a bit more scared to shoot him. She really hesitated before shooting him.
