Give credit where credit is due, this film's use of The Oner is probably one of the more complex and lengthiest use ever attempted in film. Hell, the first time the film cuts is after the secretary is shot dead, at about 15 minutes in!
Rick refusing to tell Kevin where the girl is, knowing what'll happen to his career afterwards.
The conspirators pay boxing heavyweight champion Lincoln Tyler to try to beat Costello's location out of Rick Santoro, knowing that Costello and Rick are the last obstacles in their way. Not only does Rick not talk despite getting beaten increasingly senseless, but he even starts Trash Talking the heavyweight champ for not hitting him hard enough in the middle of it all.
