B.O.L

May 7, 2009

 A scene that makes me focus on my focus question is the scene in the middle of the movie.  Ed hoffman is telling ferris how “nobody is innocent in this shit.”  Ferris is Trying to find the guy who is causing all the bombs ; he can’t seem to have any help from the C.I.A which he works for. The only good thing they seem to be doing is wrecking his plans and making him more of a target. They do this because they think that they are helping. Really what they are doing is putting ferris and all of his friends/co-workers in danger. Its funny because Ed Hoffman who is the boss over ferris and also works for the C.I.A says the same phrase more than once throughtout the movie. He only says it when ferris raises a question to him. This makes me beleive that the C.I.A is corrupt in so many other ways. Like for instanst maybe they want to keep this bomber on the streets. Intially they do not catch this bad guy but the Jordian head of intelligence catches him. This person has less information than the C.I.A but yet he is the first to catch him. This movie seems like a obvious movie but i believe that there is a another whole moral to the story and details that happen in this movie that you will only catch if you really pay attetion

    That’s a great detail, that Ed says “nobody is innocent in this shit” several times to the main character. What is happening each time he says it? It might be useful to make a list and describe the context each time.

    Now, to play devil’s advocate, sometimes in action movies phrases like this get thrown around without really indicating guilt. In Daredevil Fisk says, “Nobody’s innocent. Nobody.”

    What makes this more than just a stock action movie phrase?
