According to the M.E. the knife is 3.5 inches wide and approx. 5 inches long. That is one hell of a wide kitchen knife and clearly not what they later find in the kitchen. Everyone makes mistakes, but even a writer should be able to hop into his or her kitchen and have a look at the blade collection for some basic dimensions. The cutaway shots are as usual inconsistent too. One moment a shot of the intracostal flying north, than we are out on the open ocean for the next view. I realize the editor sits in a studio on the west coast where they don't have an intracostal waterway but hey, if it is relatively narrow and has houses on both sides in one shot and than wide open like the pacific in the next even a Californian beach boy must realize that something doesn't fit :-)

Not to be picky but I'd expect that someone checks the basic facts before writing a script for the narrator. In "Faces of Earth" episode "Shaping the Planet" about 4 minutes in there is talk about how much magma is moved and the voice over gives us 88,000 cubic feet, or 'enough to fill a football stadium 2000 times over". 88,000 divided by 2000 that is 44 cubic feet per football stadium. I am not a football fan, but driving by one of these stadiums 44 cubic feet sure will not fill them up.

I've done video production for a number of years and understand that certain esoteric facts can get screwed up in a project, but basic math should not be one of them.

The storyline is not bad despite a number of holes here and there. My main complaint... the flying scene that made no sense. As a pilot I'm getting tired of movies showing us over and over that, when you turn off the engine on a plane it falls out of the Sky like a Duck after a heart attack. Please, please... Planes continue to glide rather nicely without an engine. Anyone ever see a sailplane?

Our hero "Will" knew he had to turn of the engine when the call comes... fair enough. So if he knows how to fly the darn plane he must have known that all he had to do is climb to around 6,000feet and he could spend almost 10 Minutes on the phone with the Bad guy. Even with pontoons a Cessna hardly looses more than 600ft per minute!

OK, enough bitchin' for tonight. Enjoy the movie !

Tankard goes through a day in the city, riding the subway, taking a singing lesson, and bathing at a public house. As the work progresses, it becomes harder and harder to distinguish between fantasy and reality. Tankard's character imagines herself dancing with a man across train platforms and through streets. In one scene the two of them are dancing on a hockey rink, sliding across the icy surface. Tankard climbs ladders and catwalks at dizzying heights above the train platforms. Finally, she arrives at an abandoned booth-shaped bar. At this point she is dressed in a reddish evening gown with jewels. She pours herself a drink and smokes in the bar, and we see her vamping it up. Dialogue from "A Place in the Sun" plays and adds to the melodrama, as Tankard continues to vamp it up. She struts about the booth and on a platform outside. As the work draws to a close, we find her singing and dancing in the booth bar, shimmying and belting out a tune in English. The film has a bluish hue to it, and the red of Tankard's wardrobe stands out prominently.
