Hackford has said that he likes to make documentaries,and he made Hail,Hail Rock n'Roll about Chuck Berry,which is very good. It seems as if he wanted to make a documentary about kidnap and ransom in South America more than he wanted to make a thriller/romance with k&r asa theme.The real premise of the film would be situational ethics,of Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603054002784395449.post-65221346026600462342010-06-19T18:48:28.810-07:002010-06-19T18:48:28.810-07:00@Bski10 - My overall enjoyment of the film really ...@Bski10 - My overall enjoyment of the film really wouldn't be swayed much by the inclusion of that scene. Sure it probably would have made some bits of the story / relationship between the two main characters make a little more sense, but I think I would still come out feeling about the same about the film in general.

Unfortunately, this audience also laughed at the 'romance' in the film because of the ridiculous media frenzy over the off-screen affair. That's when the love episode was removed.
