Not the noblest of assassins
This film pushes the idea of Arthur Bishop as the classy assassin type. His first kill of the film, however, shows he has little regard for the other residents of a building that he engulfed in flames!
shareThat's true! I've actually had the same thought and wondered if anybody else did as well.
I feel sorry for all those guys who got wiped out by Bishop and Steve during the "Italian Job" sequence of the film.
I wonder what the body count is for the entire movie. Maybe next time I watch it I'll keep score...start a new thread.
in case you never got round to doing a bodycount, i make it 28.
