Another question that needs to be asked is for a building that supposedly contains whatever it is is 30 million dollars plus they have the worst security I have ever seen.  How many security people did they have?

Agreed they only appear to have two security guys

Seriously.  Two lads half arsed dressed in grey suits loitering around the lobby is the sum total of the security protecting 640million dollars.

Cant imagine the insurance company paying out for their negligence

In Back to the Future Doc Brown is on the clock tower trying to hook up electricity cables for the lightening bolt that is occcring during the storm.  Its howling wind.  The bolt strikes and Marty goes back to the future.   Then the wind drops to nothing and is completely calm in 1955 as Doc surveys the scene.

So….you’re saying it might not have been a documentary after all-but some sort of hoax ?

In Captain Phillips the Somali pirates have excellent English yet they don’t seem to have picked up on the US navy insisting Phillips stays in the seat he is occupying on the life boat. Phillips also makes a point to the navy shouting “im in seat 15”

Did John Sullivan play a part in the script of this movie anybody know?

Yeah 20 years and he wasn’t moved or no inspection done on his room. The staff didn’t change in 20 years either. 

Also, Andy folds up the Prison officers suit and takes his shoes, stuffs them in to a plastic bag, swims through nearly a mile of p1ss and sh1t, only to arrive with a pristine suit freshly pressed, and shoes at the bank that all fit him perfectly, despite the prison officer being considerably smaller and fatter than him. How did he clean himself up after swimming through the sh1te? How did the suit and shoes fit him? How did the plastic bag not leak in the water? 

And finally, he gives Morgan Freeman the vaguest description of that rock where the money and letter is hidden and Freeman finds it in a few mins of looking. Also easily finds Andy on his Mexican island at the end with no problem - no issue crossing the Mexican border even though he was on parole, no probs finding Andy just cleaning his boat! 
I dont email the count anymore, its been 9 months : ( He even sent me a YBIG scarf for my Birthday

I'd say there's more security passing from Mexico to US then the other way around so it's plausible he could have made it through

I wouldn’t say excellent English 

Their English was good enough to understand “IM IN SEAT 15, SEAT 15”

Also good enough to comprehend the navy saying “Captain Phillips, please return to the seat you were in and do not move”

LOL

Great movie though. Hanks is truly an incredible actor. The final scene where he is in pure shock at what he had gone through was Oscar worthy.

Was it though?

He speaks it quickly from what I recall, they may not have understood the accent perhaps.

In reality the lads wouldn't have been native English speakers so might not have fully understood.

I  agree Hanks is phenomenal

What was the plan of escape in Die Hard?

Load everyone (12 or more people) into the back of an ambulance, along with the bearer bonds, and drive out the front / back door and hope nobody stops them?

Probably yeah.

Though this is of course a major goof in the film when they first arrived there was no ambulance in the back of the truck
