how can someone not hear a car rushing at them in a quiet night? jon lightglow talking shit to that young guy lol. 30 min car conversation, really? how the fuck did this show get an 8.4 on imdb?
shareOkay, you want to be taken seriously here. Yeah, pretty much everyone agrees about the operatives not hearing the car (though today's cars are pretty damned quiet, even the non-electric ones), but Harper's take down of the young CIA officer was some great dialogue, I thought. What's your problem with it?
As for the rest? Yeah, it's fantasy. Of course. Fiction. A story. What's pathetic about it? As Harper's character points out, Chase has aged, he's not up to his game—I think that's the point of the title. Can a man who once had mad skills but has since aged & grown relatively soft, survive these forces arrayed against him?
Honestly now, what were you expecting from the title & capsule description?
let's say a car's engine could be quiet enough, he's driving on a dirt road and at high enough speed to surprise someone. that's not loud enough to hear? as for the movie itself, i expected him to actually outsmart them, which is entirely possible with good writing. the reason i say it's a pathetic fantasy is it's illogical and is written in such a way to make the old guy win without actually being clever. yea all movies are fantasies but it's pathetic if it's a pure fantasy without a rational basis. basically this is old guy winning porn.
