Stains?

This totally reminds me of that movie: Meet the Applegates

I wonder if he saw Europa Report. I mean, probably, (right?) since they used a clip of him in the movie.

Someone please explain to me why Levine couldn't just pass the mantle and move on instead of completely disbanding Irrational?

I seem to remember several other filmic examples: The Conversation, Deja Vu, as well as major scenes in Batman Begins and The Departed.
