I love the scene where he's talking to a would-be buyer, who he knows from somewhere and he takes him to a playground. There's a little girl playing on the swings, and Skarsgard calmly takes out a gun and takes aim - without any trace of emotion - only missing killing the girl because the other guy jerks his arm at the last moment. The guy asks what the hell he's doing, and Skarsgard says: <BR/>"That little girl meant nothing to me. I didn't know her. But I was willing to kill her to prove a point.

I like the inventiveness of it, and even if the plot is similar to stuff we've seen many times before, the execution is not. It's the first urban car chase I've seen that feels the way such a thing would actually happen in real life.<BR/><BR/>That's a big part of RONIN too. Frankenheimer was a real-life racing guy, which brought a lot of verisimilitude to things. Interesting anecdote: When filming high-speed car footage, Frankenheimer had the actors *in* the cars as much as possible to get honest reaction shots. And "driver" actors would often be in a right-hand drive car while the unseen stunt driver did the real driving.David Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16985574193396205518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11827637.post-1166020984054103292006-12-13T06:43:00.000-08:002006-12-13T06:43:00.000-08:00I'm going to have to watch PEACEMAKER, again.

Here's mine:<BR/><BR/>The nuke is hidden in a church in Manhattan. Our Heroes and their team get there only a few minutes before it explodes. Clooney convinces Kidman he's going to defuse it, claiming he's done it before, but convinces her and the team to wait outside. He pries open a panel, exposing the guts of the bomb, including the explosive lenses. Just when we expect him to start fiddling around with the red wire and the blue wire, he steels himself, pulls out his gun, and fires into the bomb, knowing that the bullet will set of the conventional explosives but ruin the symmetry of the shock wave, thus preventing a nuclear detonation.<BR/><BR/>He's blown back from the bomb, showered with plutonium debris. Kidman wants to run back in to help him, but the other members of the team won't let her, saying, "He's gone, he's gone." Clooney smokes a last cigarette and dies. He's retrieved by a decontamination team in those inflatable yellow suits and has to be buried in a lead coffin.<BR/><BR/>OK, I stole parts of it from Heinlein's "The Long Watch". So?
