The only thing I liked about this move was the song during the ending credits. Does anyone know who that is and waht the name of the song was?

The song is called Sin City, and it's performed by Meredith Brooks. The song is also on her new CD Deconstrcution. I highly recommend it.

Why did Sean Penn make the comment about Nicholas Cage selling out when he did this movie.

Penn's comment wasn't fair. An actor should be allowed to do any movie he dam well pleases, even if the film is a worthless piece of $hit.

My "nit-picks" are as numerically proceeds:
1) As Comdr. Kevin Dunne is approaching Julia Costello (the woman in the white dress) and her obese companion by the elevators, more gamblers at the slot machines are behind Comdr. Kevin Dunne than as previously viewed from Comdr. Kevin Dunne's perspective.
2) The assassin gunned down by Comdr. Kevin Dunne slightly moves his hand after dropping during the substantial glimpse of Julia Costello's narration of the assassination.
3) After Comdr. Kevin Dunne thrusts the barrel of his handgun into Richard Santoro's chest and consequently removes an item from Richard Santoro's coat pocket, there is a lone shot of Comdr. Kevin Dunne and then of the two again. This time, though, the gun is no longer situated near Richard Santoro's chest.
4) Richard Santoro staggers to Julia Costello and traverses through a fenced door that was previously locked when Richard Santoro confiscated that Latin-American reprobate's money.
5) The female African-American reporter who is outside during the hurricane counts down to air time. She murmurs, "Three. Two. One," and gives the middle finger, which profanely represents one. If I am not mistaken, you are already on air by the mention of two--this being the reason why no one says one but instead provides a pantomimic signal (e.g., the cameraman's finger pointing at the individual before the camera). In all likelihood, viewers observed the female African-American reporter's middle finger. How lovely.

My "nit-picks" are as numerically proceeds:
1) Comdr. Kevin Dunne fires three shots to incapacitate the assassin. However, I hear nearly seven shots when everything initially occurs.
2) Comdr. Kevin Dunne's accomplice, who was the one to shout, "Here comes the pain!", is shot by Comdr. Kevin Dunne himself and tremulously indicates, "I've been shot." He was just shot by this man and behaves as if it were an enemy who shot him.
3) Julia Costello's arm is fully functional and without either a bandage or a gunshot wound when Julia Costello is tending to her arm in the obese character's room.
4) Comdr. Kevin Dunne shoves separate individuals out of his way after the red-haired woman flees and he is in pursuit. However, the individuals are in different positions when Comdr. Kevin Dunne is shoving them out of the way as observed from Julia Costello's perspective.
5) Julia Costello sits beside Richard Santoro and intends to advise the Secretary of Defense of the facade results of the experimentation of some type of war device. This time around, though, Richard Santoro does not place his arm around Julia Costello and Richard Santoro does not even glance around prior to noticing an assassinated Secretary of Defense as he had done previously. These two actions occur during Julia Costello's narration of the mishap.
6) An identical shadow of Comdr. Kevin Dunne is displayed twice during Richard Santoro's ultimate staggering to Julia Costello.

The blonde bikini-wearing, round number-holding woman (i.e., the woman lugging around the oversized card with the number seven on it) is neither in the arena during the match nor has any idea as to whether or not there shall even be a seventh round. She ought to have been in the arena and at least exhibiting the number one.

This was a great film, filled with atmosphere and mood...until the guy gets shot. Check that. It's a great film, until about ten minutes after the guy gets shot. Then, it's a pointless movie (although the ending--"I at least got to be on TV" is strangely memorable).

Gary Sinise does a nice job, but when the film stupidly reveals his character's role in the plot about a half hour in, we know we're in trouble.

I viewed this film expecting an incredibly complex and entertaining mystery. I got that for a little while, then it was just a typical action movie (although slickly made).

That opening shot is the coolest opening shot in the history of film. Hell, it's the SHOT in film history.
