I recommend Transiberian if you want to watch a fast-paced thriller set in an exotic locale, plus it has one of those hysterical movie conventions where the hero suddenly and fortuitously uses what you thought was a random skill mentioned earlier in the story-- I won't ruin it, but it reminds me of when Benjamin Braddock (The Graduate) runs out of gas on the way to the wedding and has to hoof it to prevent the marriage of Mrs. Robinson's daughter Elaine to the med school guy-- but luckily, as was mentioned in the beginning of the movie-- he's a track star!
It's almost as if the writer planned it that way. I remember including a few of those tidbits in our screenplays -- mainly for later laughs, not plausibility.
ReplyDeletewriter's plan things? no wonder "hamlet" says all that deep stuff early on-- i though tit was just coincidence.
