What am I missing?
does it get credit because its one of the first and hence im jaded by other films since?
it has some problems.
-every character is 2dimensional props for our main character to interact with, seem cool ect.
-even some "cool scenes" are ruined by silliness. Like the bank heist scene, where he eats a sandwich while shooting
-wtf is up with the lighting? could somone tell the director/ director of photopgrahy/cinemotographer im supposed to see what is happening. there is and can be a place for extremely dark shots with only certain things highlighted. but when the most intense chase scenes are happening. and all I can see is a literal floating head run across the screen. there is ways to light dark scenes so the audience can still feel the ambience and it be night
-about 1hr 10 in so reserving judgement about the villain but so far seems like a moustache twirler with what could have been an extremely interesting one. instead it starts getting into a cringe over the top conservative criticism of "the overly sensitive to criminals justice system"
