Negotiation skills

I just can't believe this film was made 20 years ago, and is still an eye opener for me today. I felt "game over" for One of the leading actors who has been set up for a murder. But things turned out by 2 men's wisdom and skills as both of them are extraordinary negotiators, they know the human behaviors so well that there are several twists in the plots which made the movie so attractive.

One thing is funny, as great as this negotiator, he can't even deal with a problem between his wife and daughter.

It hits a nerve on me, I feel relieved that it all makes sense for a trainer who teaches communication skills can't communicate well with her husband or parents-in-law. Or a psychologist can't deal with his own mental health.

The Negotiator quotes

  • Lieutenant Chris Sabian: I want you to apologize for telling your mother she looks...

    [Sabian's daughter makes a huge gesture with her hands]

    Lieutenant Chris Sabian: Wide.

    [Sabian smiles and whispers at his daughter]

    Lieutenant Chris Sabian: Wide's not a good word, how'd you like to be called wide?

  • Lieutenant Chris Sabian: "I can't believe this, I'm just surrounded by a room of people who wanna go in there and kill him. This is the guy who call you friend. I got nothing invested in this. I wonder why that is, or maybe someday we'll find out."
