Overall it's still nice

Consistent personal hero and incompetent police comparison drama, the protagonists are all familiar faces and big names. It is very enjoyable to watch, and the plot is compact, but a lot of information is not used. (in the case of a dead person)? The computer in the carriage could be broadcast live, but they didn't use it. It just showed that the stupid couple always loved each other, and the robbers didn't react when they knew the existence of the computer; the robbers didn't search for all communication equipment when they first took the hostages; The mayor's group knew about the Wall Street conspiracy and they didn't see the person they told the negotiator; they found the robber's information and did not lock the account; since the robber repeatedly disclosed that he had the latest news, they would not warn the robber to follow the media news on the Internet There is no control of the signal in the tunnel; the male protagonist escapes from the control instead of trying to inform the police to let professional people do professional things, but to go hand-to-hand to chase people, which is also amazing (I only tried calling the phone in the tunnel once and it didn’t work, then I went Chase), this kind of personal hero is too "heroic". On the contrary, the image of the robber created by Qutavo is more prominent and three-dimensional. The image of a robber who is cynical, intelligent and arrogant in the end would rather die than go back to prison is very clear.

    6.5 points. Anticlimactic work. The robbers were very powerful in the beginning, splitting the train and killing the driver. But from the time the money was sent to the car accident, the whole story became more and more boring. The robbers from Wall Street didn't even design their escape routes well, and their final death was inexplicably anti-social. Tony Scott's filming of "The Good Wife" is still pretty good, how did it get so wilted on the big screen?

    At the end, Denzel Washington's brave pursuit of the poor is really too much for the addiction of personal heroism.

  • Ryder: Now you understand commodities, don't you? You know, pork bellies, gold, light crude.

    Walter Garber: Listen. No disrespect, but maybe I'm not the guy you should be talking to.

    Ryder: Oh no, you are exactly the guy I wanna talk to. Now I want you to look at the ticker and I want you to tell me what is the going rate for a New York City hostage today. You think a million dollars is too much? I do. I think it's corny. Now get your calculator out. You got one?

    Ryder: [Garber hesitates] Do you have a calculator?

    Walter Garber: Yeah, we got one. I got one.

    Ryder: Okay, good. Now add this up. You got $526,315.79. That's $526,315.79 Now times that by 19. What do you get?

    Ryder: What do you get?

    Walter Garber: That comes out to $10 million plus 1 cent.

    Ryder: Oh that is a deal. Now I want you to call the mayor and tell him the price. And then you tell him I want it in 100,000 $100 dollar bills. You got that?

    Walter Garber: Okay I got that. What about the 1 cent?

    Ryder: Well you keep that 1 cent. It's your broker fee.

  • Ryder: Put Garber on the line!
