What if you had been placed in Gene's situation? What would you have done? Would you have gone through with it? Or do you think you would have been clever enough to find a way out, like Gene? It's a scary thought to think about...

It's a very scary thought to think about. I think they did a really good job of making Gene an "everyman". The things he did were very realistic.
I'm not sure what I would do. I'd be looking for a way out, that's for sure. Because you have to know that if you go through with it, you'll go to jail and be separated from your daughter, maybe for life. Not to mention that the kind of people who would do this, probably would kill both you and your daughter when the job was complete. Wasn't that what Walken was about to do in the last convention scene? He was up at a window with a gun, waiting for Gene to kill the target. I think he was going to shoot Gene right after he did the deed.
And the extra scary part is, if Gene hadn't gotten help from Huey, his daughter would've died. Gene couldn't have gotten there in time to save her. So, in the final analysis, if I were in that situation, I'd probably do something similar to Gene and trust God for the rest.

It is a scary thing to think about. Yikes. I have no idea what I'd do; I'd say Gene used the best tactics. Though knowing me I would probably collapse under the pressure, and either the governor or my daughter would die. It's disturbing to think about, though, so I'd rather not venture down there...I just know that Gene handled the situation much better than I ever could.

I think I would have tried something similar to what Gene did......but I don't know if I'd get caught or not....(probably so!). I think in the end, I'd end up dead or going to jail, sadly enough, lol. Good thing it was smart old Gene and not me in that situation!

Dude! If it was me.. nah uh.. I would of done exactly what Gene did. I would of done everything and anything I can to get out of it. I always find a way. Then again this is murder were talkin about. I feel bad for the guy, But I would of tried what he did, I mean it was all worth a try. Superbly he got through, but if I was to slow and coudlnt think about anything to do. DUDE the governer would SOOOO be dead. I dont have any kids of my own, but Ive raised about 9 of them, Im the oldes of 14 grandchildren on one side and the oldes of 7 on the other. So I know what its like to put your life on the line for a kid. And im tellin you... Governor.. would sooo not be alive

I know...it's such a brutal decision he's faced with. Even after the fact--if he'd killed the governor, he would've gone to prison and his daughter would grow up without him. Just awful!
So glad it turned out for the best! ;D

Lemme see...if I was in that postition...I'd probably flip out a bit more than he did, but I think I'd go with what he did. After all, I'd have to save my child, and not be a wanted fugitive, right?

That would be so scary if it were me. I mean I don't know. I think I would have found every oppurtunity trying to find some way to get out of it but Gene was cutting his time awefully close and I think if it had come right down to it, I would have had to go through with it. It's scary thought but if it were my daughter and there was no way else, I wuld ave done it. I would have been to afraid to shoot at the other guy!

I would have done a similar thing to what Gene did. I mean, he told the women the plot, and although she may not have believed him, that was her fault I mean, u take one look at the guy, and heck, i would throw myself at him! lol well, ta!

Hehehehe
I don't have a daugther of course, but if I did I would risk anything for her. I'd be sorry about the govenor, but I'd get in there and shoot the lady's head off. Anything for my daughter.
But if it could be avoided, I of course wouldn't kill anyone.
