I know he was in shock and trying to be 'brave' somewhat, but he didn't bust out crying the way one would think...when Abby died! He cried a little, but seemed oddly restrained.
Was it because he'd FINALLY realized something religiously huge was happening, and that it was what Abby chose to do to help save her baby and the world?
"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."
No everyone grieves differently. Not everyone wails. They knew from the failure of her last pregnancy that there was a danger to the baby, which therefore means her own life is at risk. He didn't take her words about the end of the earth seriously and he was right there when she said "Yes, I'd die for him." Then their son came to life and for a moment she shared in that before she died.
Michael Biehn's performance was well done for a man who defended his client, and loved his wife and son while facing the end of the earth.
You have eternity. I have only now.
Michael Biehn nailed it. He's one of the best actors when given a chance to appear in big movies. And he's one hell of a nice guy.
