Not trying to be contrarian but I didn't think this movie was very good.

>>66826923
you dont have to count floors from the outside to know that. It would just skip the number on the stair label or there would be no 13 on the elevator.

Likely the elevator/stairs skip a floor when counting so a "hidden" floor is created. 7th floor is actually the 8th floor, etc

I figured one floor of the building wasn't accessible with an elevator.

Like, maybe the guys family lived on the top floor or something. Or the guy had a money laundering operation. Or human trafficking.

Something on that floor that Woody could use as leverage.

someone post that dude's accurate pasta about this and the numbers

One of the floors is not accessible via the elevator or the stairwell normally, probably because it has drugs or weapons or other illegal shit stored there.

Las Vegas casinos hotel rooms never make a room 13.

The Yanggakdo hotel in North Korea is used to house any tourists entering the country. It's a perfectly normal hotel in almost every regard, except for the fact that the fifth floor is utterly impossible to enter. There have been plenty of stories of tourists managing to get away from their guides to try and snoop around, but there doesn't seem to be a single entrance anywhere in the entire hotel; the elevators straight up don't have a fifth floor listed. Any questions about the fifth floor are deflected or ignored.

It's widely believed that the fifth floor is dedicated to state security personnel, constantly monitoring the entire building, keeping an eye on western tourists staying in bugged rooms. The building in the film clearly has a similar set-up, only less obvious. There's an entire floor dedicated to shady shit that they don't want anyone to know about. The hitman knows this, and drops a hint to let them know that he knows this, to get the upper hand in negotiations.

Break into a room on the sixth storey and saw through the floor. Just don't saw around yourself like Wile E. Coyote.

how is this not obvious to you fucking plebeians?

Why wouldn't they just number them consecutively and engineer the elevator's floor display screen (if there is one) to skip the 5th?

I mean, how many people ride an elevator and can actually feel the difference in distance between floors?

I'm sure there would be people who counted the floors from the street like Carson did, but those would be less common than the average tourist who ends up seeing that the 5th floor isn't available as soon as they enter the elevator?

I guess they just don't give a fuck about questions and simply ignore like the nork gook that they are...

Because in north korea the number 5 doesn't exist. It just goes from 4 to 6. So in North Korea kim jong un is technically 6'2"

This is what it is. There is a floor you can't access, and it implies some very shady shit. This is a guy who is deeply involved with Mexican cartel drug trafficking.

It's left to the imagination exactly what it is.
