Operation Outcome

Operation Outcome is the successor of Operation Treadstone? I thought that Operation Blackbriar was the successor of Operation Treadstone. The successor of Operation Treadstone is Operation Outcome or Operation Blackbriar? Anyone can confirm this? Thank you. Yofan Pratama P (talk) 12:48, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering the same thing. I'll try to find a source. 76.1.79.235 (talk) 01:36, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Blackbriar is successor to Treadstone. Outcome isn't a CIA project, it's a US black government program, related to both Blackbriar and Treadstone. -- 76.65.128.252 (talk) 12:05, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Plot

the section contained no refs and was simply speculation. Removed until a reliable source is available 108.172.114.141 (talk) 02:24, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sound track

seems a bit like shameless promotion to have the whole sound track listed in the article. What does everyone else think?108.172.114.141 (talk) 02:27, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I would actually hope that every single WP article about a film include a section with the entire OST listings (even for films that have not been released yet). I routinely find music in films that I like and want to know who composed/produced it and what was the title of the song so I can purchase it from iTunes or Google Play. --Thorwald (talk) 02:54, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Soundtrack listings on wiki are standard they do it for some video ga,Ed it's hard to find this info years latter and is a good point of archive 75.65.20.204 (talk) 05:02, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Count back language

What language was he using when he was asked to count back from 100? --Jondel (talk) 11:34, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Plot question

I found the movie to be unclear on various points. One example: "Shearing reveals that Cross was genetically modified to retain the benefits of the chems without continuous consumption, a process called "viralling off". Cross and Shearing travel to Manila, where the chems are manufactured, to viral them off into Cross' body." What? Enigma^msg 21:42, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That's one point. An anon removed the descriptors, which clarified which chems he had been "viralled off" of, though I'm not sure why. I'm in the process of re-clarifying that sentence. --Jasca Ducato (talk) 20:01, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that was the easiest point to isolate. I didn't think the film was very clear on this, or the Bourne storyline. Enigma^msg 01:21, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Opening dates?

I think a citation would be good for the opening dates. Also, they contradict the date for opening in the USA on Google search and IMDB. Thanks. 69.86.147.94 (talk) 20:11, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Plot Question #2

In the beginning of the film, Aaron Cross (main character) is shown completing his Alaskan training course and he hides his dog tag meds/chems container in his boot. Cross lies to the cabin caretaker (Number Three/exiled outcome operative) and says he dropped his chems and lost them. Why did Cross do this? Did he want a stockpile of chems to safeguard against reverting to a low IQ retard. Secondly, at first the cabin caretaker exhibits a hostile attitude towards Cross and refuses to give Cross chems. The cabin caretaker's attitude suddenly changes and he offers Cross more chems and shows Cross a lot more hospitality. Should it be assumed the cabin caretaker received a orders to hold Cross in the cabin so the drone could assassinate both of these agents? No such communication was ever shown or even hinted at in the film. Thanks.
