I felt bad for Chad when he got shot.


I didn't see it coming and flinched in horror. He was a nice guy. He didn't deserve getting killed, IMHO. Yeah, he broke in which made him an intruder, but still. Anyone else?

He probably deserved a closure of the gym he worked at, his unemployment insurance running out and thus a good 5 years or so of poverty. That he could use. He did seem to be a little in the clouds. But yeah, not getting shot in the head. That was harsh.

reply

I didn't. He was breaking and entering and attempting to help a moronic woman sell classified information to a foreign power. If he'd survived, he should have been tried alongside her for treason and executed.

reply

Yes, and I think him getting killed the way he did with that smile on his face just showed he didn't fully appreciate what he was being asked to do which was all illegal.

reply

his character was the only saving grace in the movie. Was staring at the screen open mouthed when he got shot. But his expression just as Clooney opens the door and sees him is PRICELESS. Followed by that horrifying gunshot... One instant LMAO next instant stuck in middle of a laugh shocked....

Yeah, it kind of sucked that he died, Brad Pitt was the best thing in the film for me.

"Whoo-ah"

I agree, iffy, I did feel bad for him when he was shot, that definitely surprised me, he was kind of a dope though LOL!

Brad Pitt was so funny in the movie! Yes, it was totally unexpected and quite a shock to see him shot.

reply

I could stop laughing when Clooney Toons shot him...that stupid look on both their faces. This whole movie is funny!
