Rewatching the movie...


And I was wondering do you guys think that Hani knew that Ferris was involved with the whole Omar Sadiki scam?

When he should Ferris the pictures of Omar and that lawyer guy(can't remember his name right now), the way he insist on how they share everything and don't keep secrets. It suddenly occured to me, that maybe he knew that he was in on this scam. And that's why he was so adamant about not helping when the girl was supposedly kidnapped.

Just curious.

Yes, he knew. Or he suspected. We have to remember Hani is the head of intelligence so he would have all the resources to uncover the truth.

Yeah. I thought it was stupid for Ferris to lie in that situation. There's was no point to burning his relationship with Hani -- as Ferris should have known if Hani didn't know then, he surely would learn the truth eventually and he certainly will be pissed.

He should have told the truth and dealt with the consequences.
