I think I must be crazy to love this movie

I think I must be crazy to love this film, to watch a movie and see that my heartbeat exceeds 180, and to cry and laugh like a madman, unable to calm down for a long time.
This summer, a lot of blockbuster movies were shown in rural cinemas. Big friends and children said they were good after watching it, and I fell asleep; My Life in Ruins, which was so funny, I couldn’t find the point of laughter; and Star Trek, And Angels & Demons, and X-Men Origins, and Night at the Museum.
But I didn't watch The Taking of Pelham 123.
It was the first time I experienced the Stockholm effect firsthand, the first time I felt that the kidnapper was such a heroic figure, and the first time I felt whether I could let him fly away. Mustache, sunglasses, handsome coat, he said, "I want Garber to answer the phone, or I will die as a hostage" so handsome, he said, "Mayor, if you plant a person to be a hostage, I will release all the other 17 Hostage" so righteous and awe-inspiring, he said "I'd rather die than go back to prison" so charming, he said "Garber, kill me, or I'll shoot you, I count 10 Numbers, 10, 9, 8, 7..." (⊙o⊙) Oh, Ryder, I love you!
How can there be such a handsome man in the world? And why does such a handsome man have to die? Why, can't he just grab it like Russell Crowe in 3:10 to Yuma, and show that murderous charming smile.

    In fact, some small details interspersed in this Hollywood film are quite interesting, especially about everything about the mayor, such as the reporter's interview with the mayor, and the mayor's attention to his own style, and so on.

    The escape plan sucks, the rest is OK

The Taking of Pelham 123 quotes

  • [from trailer]

    Ryder: Life is simple now. They just have to do what I say.

  • Ryder: You know we all owe God a debt... and I'm a man who pays his debts. Are you a man who pays his debts?

    Walter Garber: Yeah, yeah, sure... TV, cable, uh and my mortgage. That's a little like dying once a month.

    Ryder: Oh, you're married... you're a married man?

    Walter Garber: Maybe.

    Ryder: Oh, no... you're married, man. Married men have mortgages.
