| 2 | * Ottway placing all the wallets of the deceased in a pile [[spoiler:before his LastStand]], looking inside each to get a glimpse of their loved ones. It really hits a tender chord when he [[spoiler:looks at Diaz' wallet, just to find (as he proclaimed) he has no pictures of loved ones, only his driver's license.]] When Ottway finally reaches his own, [[spoiler:flipping to a picture he has of his {{dead|AllAlong}} wife]], you're going to shed many {{manly tears}}. |
| 3 | ** And then, when he [[spoiler:recites the poem one last time in his head as he prepares himself for his LastStand.]] |
| 4 | * The last thing [[spoiler:Talget]] sees before he dies is his daughter moving her long hair across his face as he described to the guys earlier. |
| 5 | * While it is a bit predictable, finding out that [[spoiler:Ottway's wife has been {{Dead All Along}}]] is still deeply saddening, especially after really connecting to Ottway by that point. [[HarsherInHindsight Then]], you realize what [[spoiler: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natasha_Richardson#Injury_and_death Liam Neeson has been through in real life]]]]. |
| 6 | * Ottway's RageAgainstTheHeavens moment after [[spoiler:Hendrick drowns, leaving him all alone as the last survivor]]. You can feel the culmination of all of his rage, heartbreak, desperation, and frustration as he curses at God, demanding a sign that He exists and isn't carelessly cruel. [[spoiler:He doesn't get one, and we can only watch as he slides right over the DespairEventHorizon]]. |
