The melody that plays at the part when Harvey reads the threat card was also in the trailer for Munich. It's the main theme for the movie The Life of David Gale.

Yo tick tick tick boom artist: the hives and does anyone know the name of the song the plays at the end credits? I'm pretty sure it's in another recent war movie, or transformers.

Hilarious, fun, and cool movie! The whole audience was laughing and cheering throughout. Some of hollywood's stupid sexual innuendos kept me from being able to recommend it to anyone, but aside from those the movie delivered strong. I'll be seeing it again... and loving it!

This was a great movie. Steve Carell was endearing and funny without being stupid. Even the smaller roles (Bill Murray and Masi Oka) made the audience laugh. There were also cool stunts, action scenes, and gadgets. I loved it! It was the best movie I have seen in a long time.
