- GoofsThe demolition expert says "support beams and tie girders". Beams (used to support floors) and girders (used to support other beams and portions of floors) are both horizontal structural members. They only carry the weight of the floor, furniture, and people. Columns, on the other hand, are major vertical structural members that carry the weight of the building- including the weight from the beams and girders tied to them. They are always fitted with explosives in order to demolish a building. He should have said "... columns and beams ...".

Jill Hennessy as A.D.A. Claire Kincaid is always fun to watch. Eye candy to be sure, but what the heck.
Steven Hill is the D.A. Not my favorite. Just an old John McCain-type politician who probably parts his hair on the right side. I must remember to look.
Someone said this morning that the new movie Righteous Kill is just like an old Law & Order episode. Even one as bland as this one is worth watching, so maybe I'll go see it.
