What Jake fails to do while his consciousness is zipping between breathing poisonous gasses and dangling by the queue never surprises me as much as Quaritch's architypal bad-guy semi-speech about "How does it feel, Jake?" That he doesn't immediately answer himself with, "You know, I don't care how you feel. Die, kiddo," feels a little movie-ish to me. And this is coming from a person who loves dialog.
