under the cold coat

A somewhat irrational killer, with a bit of chivalry under the icy coat, like a character in a traditional Chinese story. Love Max's self-soothing, can go to the Maldives many times a day (seems like it), love this little guy's daydreaming, self-soothing, cowardice, panic and chasing.

Nice Dialogue:
"Someday? Someday my (your) dreams will come true? One night you will wake up and find you've accomplished nothing?
It just passes you by, it never happens, and suddenly you The years are gone.
That hasn't happened yet, and it never will, because you were never prepared to do it!
You'll repress it in your memory and get into your baby cab. For the rest of your life, in the memory of In the bubble, hypnotized by the daydreams.
Maybe all you did was pay the Lincoln RV deposit. Or that girl, you wouldn't even (have the guts) to call her! Why are you still driving a cab?"

The driver was silent for a long time and replied:
"Because I have never tried to summon the courage to face myself, maybe I tried, I tried to get out of the slump, but it was just a doomed attempt."

    I really like the villain's appearance of Brother Tom, LA's busyness and indifference, found a warmth in his brother, the killer is an intruder, a night killer with an alien identity, the ending is fateful and sad: someone went to Luo City subway, die here, do you think anyone will notice?

    If it was a Hong Kong movie, I would praise it loudly. . However, even though this group of people are in Los Angeles, although it is quite bleak, I still think this film is not interesting enough.

Collateral quotes

  • Felix: Now you're here. Why?

    Max: I lost my stuff. The list.

    Felix: I want you to listen to me real well. Special groups put together the list of dedos.

    Max: Dedos?

    Felix: Fingers, informants. Signal interceptions with voice-recognition software, surveillance. A very expensive counter-intelligence worked up that list. An important list, wouldn't you say? And you lost it?

    Max: Yeah, I'm sorry. Sorry.

    Felix: Sorry? 'Sorry' does not put Humpty Dumpty back together again.

  • Max: The fat man, the penthouse guy, the jazz man. That leaves two.

    Felix: Can you finish?

    Max: In six years, when have I not?
