Plot summary
Directed by: Tony Scott
Starring: Denzel Washington, Christopher Walken, Mickey Rourke, Dakota Fanning, Radha Mitchell, Marc Anthony
John W. Creasy (Denzel Washington) is a burned-out ex-CIA assassin, who is continously haunted by the sins that he has committed. His best friend Rayburn (Christopher Walken) gets him a job as a bodyguard for industrialist Samuel Ramos' (Marc Anthony) young daughter Pita (Dakota Fanning) and his wife Lisa (Radha Mitchell). At first Creasy sees Pita as only a job showing no interest in her whatsoever (except protecting her). But pretty soon he begins to show affection for her as she changes the cold and heartless man in Creasy, and gives him a new purpose in life. But the happiness is broken when Pita is kidnapped. This tragic event changes Creasy back to his old behaviour and he becomes determined to rescue her and kill everyone involved in the kidnapping.

Question: Why did Creasy keep swimming in the pool after being shot?
Answer: It was meant to recuperate damaged muscles after being shot at by kidnappers.
Answer: The reason he was swimming in the pool is because he had open bullet hole wounds to his body, the chlorine and bleach in a swimming pool kill bacteria thus helping him from not dying of gangrene before he has a chance to get his revenge. He knew from the first bullet to his body he was not going to make it out alive so he did what he had to do to get as far as he possibly could. He believed she was dead, he had nothing to live for, he was killing as many as he could before he fell off the wagon.
