Spacey treats them as expendable, possibly even wanting them dead as dead men tell no tales.
Yeah, I assumed he wanted to eliminate all the witnesses on all sides. I guess he didn't absolutely have to, if he could get through without anyone on "his" side doubting the Kint identity, but I assumed he erred on the side of no witnesses.
the original line-up is genuine
It probably really happened, since that was part of his original story that might be checked. But it must have been engineered by someone (presumably him), because as they say, why would they put five suspects who look different into one lineup?
It's pretty suspicious they're all in a cell together, but I guess the police *might* have done that if they gave up questioning them about the gun robbery.
So I guess, KS set that up to get his favoured team together. Pulled the police-taxi job. And then proceeded through an unknown amount of shenanigans to get them all to commando-raid the boat together.
Maybe he or Kobayashi simply told them about that job, didn't tell them it was a suicide mission, and they all agreed, apart from the dead one. Or maybe they went through the threatened-by-Kobayashi scene as he described to the police.
Come to think of it, Kobayashi was maybe a real person with a fake name, maybe Redfoot was too.
I found the "threaten their loved ones" thing a bit implausible and over the top, so I thought it might have been invented, but I guess it's maybe equally important it's plausible, whether it happened, or whether he told the police it did.
