How much do you have to pay guys to defend asshole billionaires? If the bullets really start flying I hope they ditch their jobs for the sake of their families.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

Probably less than you would think. However... You have to pay them a lot if you don't want them to be easy targets for bribes.

[–] Tangent5280 4 points 6 days ago

Yep, Only way people will lay down their lives for others is if they believe in a cause they are furthering, or to protect a loved one. I don't think bodyguards fit into either of these categories when the principal is some billionaire businessman.

They'll do their jobs sure, but not when it's time to risk their own lives.

Have seen this at least one gajillion times. Almost a perfect movie.

[–] CptEnder 24 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Such a fantastic movie. This scene is top 3 shooting scenes too. They did it in downtown LA on location and reverb off the buildings is visceral.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

Same with Collateral.

Michael Mann seems to be the only director to really nail the sound of guns.

[–] slaacaa 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yes, absolutely mind blowing movie and scene, especially if you have a chance to catch it on the big screen.

The reason for the great sound (if I remember correctly) is the use of blanks, instead of lazy post-editing visuals and sound effects (like in most movies). And also the depth of characters, the acting and the cinematography all come together into this amazing film.

I’m jealous if you haven’t seen it, amazing experience, I really recommend you check it out.

My wife hates action movies but loves this one, always cries at the end. Very deep exploration of some (flawed) characters and sad life stories, for both policemen and criminals - the realistic action scenes and 90s LA are just the cool backdrop.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

I'll definitly check it out!

[–] shalafi 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Now that you know the movie, search for the bank robbery scene. It may be the best gunfight ever filmed.

[–] kalpol 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

No just watch the whole movie.it's great.so many good scenes

[–] hotdogthud 13 points 1 week ago

I feel like it's worth pointing out that his character was the only one that got away.

[–] simplejack 2 points 1 week ago

The shittier version before Michael Mann remade the same exact movie, but with more money.
