    The character of Crow (portrayed by Ian Bannen) is a complete a**hole! Why didn't one of the other characters in the movie break his freakin nose? I HATE this guy!

      Crow's purpose in the film is comic relief. Everyone is under stress and that's how Crow released his fears and frustration. He wasn't really a bad guy or even really all that mean-spirited. Also, unlike Watson who was a coward and who stole water, Crow worked hard with the group and never caused any dissent. Actually, I feel he's a really misunderstood character by a lot of people.

        I thought it was Dorfmann who stole the water. Did Watson steal some too?

          Just finished watching it for the first time. I'm a modeller and rc pilot and this was recommended to me by a friend. Great movie. Anyway, it seemed to me that Watson was stealing water, and was quite relieved when Dorfman admitted taking extra water, as it covered fit him.

            Agreed!
            If he was intended to be comic relief, he failed miserably. I've seldom seen a movie character I disliked more!

                I think Crow is awesome. He's funny, and is actually a good guy when it counts.

                  I thought he was funny. He came up with some good lines and he wasn't a slacker. Although he would get on your nerves after awhile.

                    I don't believe there is any evidence of Watson stealing water.
                    Dorfmann took the water because he was busy working while everyone was resting and rationalized that he needed it more than they did.
