A movie that is exciting and dramatic
Ibrahim 2022-03-19 09:01:02
The first time I watched this movie was when I was in the second and third grade of elementary school. I remember that I hadn't watched a few Hollywood blockbusters at that time, and the deepest ones in my memory were a few, and this was one of them. Although blockbusters are now bombing, film directors are more and more willing to burn money, and the scenes are becoming more and more exciting. But this movie has always been regarded as one of the classics by me. To be honest, the special effects of movies of that era are really not so good now. There are no exaggerated pictures, no scenes of bullets flying across the sky, fires all over the sky, and cars falling from the sky. But the intense and logical plot promoted the development of the story of the whole movie. The plot setting is reasonable, clear and organized, and the male protagonist is not as omnipotent as 007. This also laid the tone of the whole movie. The bomb is the main line of the movie, and the car is the main body of the movie's plot. The only fly in the ointment is that the bad old man died too simple in the end! Fighting with the male protagonist on the top of the subway car, he was hit by a police bell and died! This method of death is too cheap for him! If I were the director, I would tie the bomb from the heroine to him, and let him taste the taste of being killed by a bomb made by myself! He killed so many people and should let him taste the bomb, this is what he deserved! Friends who agree with my point of view, please raise your hands, and remember to collect if you like it!

Howard Payne: What do you think, Jack? You think you pick up all the bus driver's teeth they'll give you another medal?
Jack: Jeez...
Howard Payne: You think I wouldn't have been prepared? Two years I spent, setting up that elevator job. Two years I invested myself in it. You couldn't understand the kind of commitment I have. You ruined a man's life's work and you think you can walk away? You got blinders on to the world! But I got your attention now, didn't I Jack?
Jack: Why didn't you just come after me?
Howard Payne: Now this is about my money. This is about money due me. Which I collect. $3.7 million. It's my nest egg, Jack - at my age you gotta think ahead.
Jack: When I find you...
Howard Payne: Oh, quiz hot shot. There's a bomb on a bus, once the bus goes 50mp/h, the bomb is armed. If it drops below 50, it blows up. What do you do? What do you do?
Jack: I'd wanna know what bus it was...
Howard Payne: You think I'm gonna tell you that?
Jack: Yes.
Howard Payne: Aha, very good. There are rules, Jack, and I want you to get this right. No one goes off the bus. You try to take any passengers off the bus, I will detonate it. I want my money by 11 A.M.
Jack: We can't pull that kind of money in time!
Howard Payne: Focus, Jack! Your concern is the bus. And don't try to call. The radio's down. Now, the number of the bus is 2525, it's running downtown from Venice. It's at the corner of Ocean Park & Main.

Lt. Herb "Mac" McMahon: Alright gentlemen, what we have here is 13 passengers in a express elevator. Below floor 30. Bomber's already taken out cables, bomber wants $3 million or he blows the emergency brakes.
Harry Temple: What's our clock?
Norwood: He gave one hour. That leaves us twenty-three minutes exactly.
Swat Cop: Anything else that will keep this elevator from falling?
Jack: Yeah, the basement.
Lt. Herb "Mac" McMahon: The city would like to avoid that event, Officer Traven.
Harry Temple: We can't just unload the passengers?
Lt. Herb "Mac" McMahon: This is an express elevator gentlemen. The only way in or out is through access panels. Bomber's also wired the hatch to trigger the bomb, which seats him in the crazy-but-not-stupid section.
Jack: Sir, Harry volunteers to examine the device.
Harry Temple: Yeah, right.
Lt. Herb "Mac" McMahon: Fine. The two of you check it out.
Norwood: The nearest access panel is on the thirty-second floor in the lobby.
Lt. Herb "Mac" McMahon: I want reports only, we're in a holding patern. Worthy, Briggs, I want you to secure base area, no one in or out. Everyone else, I want you to confirm building evac. Move!
Jack: [to Harry] Looks like we're walking.
