Is it just me or is this kind of funny (not really In a haha way but sort of a silly, weird, or maybe ironic way.)
I mean these guys just killed a bunch of people which is gruesome and disturbing.. and now are aboutto do something also awful and serious like killing themselves, but are debating and agreeing on something soo trivial like numbers!!!
I was kinda of like WTF, and it made me smile at how sick they were
Dont get me wrong, I think it's a nice touch. I also find their laughter, mocking and joking around to be ironic and make this tragedy even more disturbing and scary
Just shows how sick they are

Overall great movie, very convincing and well acted!!:)

i agree! The humour in this made me feel conflicted with the serious content matter. There were quite a few funny moments which were almost actually laugh out loud funny. 123 bang was a stand out funny moment. Ironic funny i agree. Well written and acted if it can draw you in and feel the seriousness of it all and then make you stop and laugh at the same time.

It just goes to show how the human mind can work on different levels at the same time. I mean, here they killed innocent peers pleading for their lives, but then they were insecure boys at heart who really relied on each other, and one didn't want to die last or see the other one die first, or live without the other. Therefore, this trivial issue of getting the count right and in sync was funny, sad and sweet at the same time.

all i could think of was Lethal Weapon 2 where Riggs is about to pull Murtaugh off the bomb-toilet. a very similar exchange about 1-2-go-on-3, or 1-3-3-go

The point is, Ted, marriage...is stupid.

I just re-watched this film tonight and noticed for the first time that Andre takes his "Dirty Harry" gun and points it up under his chin and pulls the trigger 6 times. This happens a little bit before they start talking about shooting at the responding officers. I didn't notice if he checked to see if the gun was loaded though. I just thought it was interesting that I never noticed it before.
