sense of rhythm

I like the rhythm of the film very much, sometimes the taxi driver's Maldivian dream, the ambiguous atmosphere with the female passenger, sometimes it is Tom's cold murder, sometimes he enjoys an impromptu performance in a jazz bar, and sometimes his face changes to death. And the closer you get to the end, the faster the rhythm becomes. I really liked the part where the driver was racing, Vincent was terrified, because the situation was out of control, he couldn't control Max, but Max was detached, like a hero who took courage and crashed the taxi, he changed, no longer I make excuses for my mediocrity, but really do something to be worthy of myself.
Buildings, subways, pressing step by step, until the final battle in the dark, the process is like magma rising higher and higher and finally erupting and returning to peace. I really enjoyed the rhythm and excitement this film gave me.

    To be honest, Michael Mann's style is unlucky. He is another director with such a strong personal style. A large number of positioning cameras are used throughout the film. Like a Hong Kong movie, I saw a person and a car slowly driving from the left hand side to the right hand side. But it's okay. Jamie Fox completed the task beautifully. Tang Shuai is so vicissitudes of life. .

Collateral quotes

  • Vincent: Max, I do this for a living!

  • Max: How do you like being a lawyer?

    Annie: What are you, psychic?

    Max: Little bit. There's the dark pin-stripe suit, elegant, not too flashy, that rules out advertising, plus a top-drawer briefcase that you live out of. And the purse. A Bottega. Anyway, a man gets in my cab with a sword, I figure he's a sushi chef. You: Clarence Darrow.
