Confession of a Dangerous Mind - poisoned cup scene (Sam Rockwell & Julia Roberts)

First, Patricia put some poison in Chuck's cup, a weird shaped sugar cube and had the spout for the cream face inwards. Then, while Patricia was looking out, Chuck put the sugar cube on Patricia's saucer and faced the cream spout outwards. He didn't switch the cups. And then, while Chuck was looking at the picture on the wall, Patricia turned the entire tray around, putting the poisoned cup on her side, putting the sugar cube on her own plate. He fake bluffed her in the first place. she double bluffed to nothing. End result: Patricia got poisoned, and Chuck kills the mole.

Sam Rockwell totally out shone Julia Roberts here in the dying part.

I've Never seen any other actor depict a death-by-poisoning scene as realistically as he did. It's usually the regular choking, staring at one spot without blinking looking shocked and dropping.

No, in the middle of a sentence he felt his tongue paralyze, his throat went, then he began to stiffen up, that's why research is so important. What would be the realistic effects of a poison like that?

ASTONISHING PERFORMANCE.

Many parts of "his" script were admittedly "fictionalized", his wife was pure fiction, no dress, no serial killer dad. A real CIA assassin would be wise to change all facts, as CIA agent and convicted Watergate bugler E Howard Hunt (Mission Impossible) did in his novels before his confession as an assassin of JFK. Julia Childs was OSS, Dr Ruth was an Israeli sniper gunned down in combat. His daughter did OD, spent $20K on abortions to kill his kids, he was paid $200-million to quit TV. CIA spin?
