Would the Guard actually do something if someone actually was killed or was going to be closed to being killed? He didn't react to White using the gun on the other people because he knew it was a magic bullet used to cure but what if the bullet was shot into someone's head? I'm sure it would kill them as they are having something going through their brain at high speeds even if it is meant to cure.
shareDefinitely, entropy is a bitch. Once synapses are turned into scrambled eggs, there is no way a rapid cell regeneration could fix it again. It only would have genetic structure (and the recursive pattern of growth) to rely on.
But probably the magic bullet hat very low mass and wouldn't penetrate the skull.
What if it got shot through the eye at point blank range?
shareI guess the guard or police officer would've done something if the others were killed. But because it was the black guy, to a police officer it's okay.
shareI doubt the guard would've done anything. He's there to escort people out and act as a "tool" when utilized. The company needs to find the perfect employee and intervention would ruin that goal. A few candidates dead or millions saved because the right person was picked for the job? With what they allowed, I'm assuming their philosophy fits the latter.
-The guard does nothing as White comes close to an irreversible coma. It was up to the candidates to pop his pill in his mouth. The guard could have easily been ordered, at any point, to produce a pill. But that doesn't happen.
-He also stands idle as Brown nearly takes Dark's left eye. There's a pistol whipping. Punches thrown. The guard stares blankly forward.
Outside intervention shifts the variables and ruins any experiment.
All good points, which is why I felt the happyish, uplifting ending felt false.
shareIt was a plot device to introduce and demonstrate the magic bullet. However, it was dumb because they should not have had a gun in there. I still enjoyed the film though.
