I am sorry, to hear that, Lula. I like, watching movies with audio commentary, because, they explain certain things, and giving you interesting backround-infos to the scenes. I like that. It is very informativ.

Yes, quite different from Nics portrayal in CoA. But, I think, "Cash" is a perfect fit-in for that movie. And, he kinds of tests the shopowner, by threatening him, to look at the ticket. But, the owner failed the test and blew it. But, unexpected, Jack passed it. And, is kind of rewarded with the glimpse.

Yes, I think, it was a reward. The "angel" wanted to show him, what he missed in life, because of the choice he made, to leave Kate, at the beginning. And, on the other hand, as a lesson, of course. And, I don`t think, that Jack failed the test in the store. For me, it looked like, if the shopowner was beeing tested.

Or in his lap, lol! Nic is so good in that first scene, when he wakes up, it cracks me up every time. The look on his face, and then his real panic that overtakes him when the kids come in, you can really see what it would be like for that to happen.
LOL. Yes. And, his fast reaction, to get out of the house and into the city, to his "old" life! That expression on his face, is awesome! Nic can really transport that emotions of confusion and panic only with his facial expression and the looks in his eyes!
