Used to have one, sold it and a Glock 17 to buy a rifle before my state’s Assault Weapons Ban went into effect. Will hopefully buy another one soon. >bullets are in the mag backwards
Based Glock meme.
There's gunshots almost nightly across the highway in my neighborhood and I live in supposedly what is supposed to be one if the best suburbs of the DFW area
I had a track meet in dfw once and when we got to the hotel to check in a cop drove by and told us all to not go out after the sunset. Yes we heard gunshots.
My neighborhood when I lived in the city had someone who used to go out and shoot randomly just to make noise. When he was finally caught he said he was doing it to keep rents low in the area.
Wow based. Homelessness and druggies don't seem to keep rents down in cities anymore though from my experience. People will endure a lot to live in the hustle and bustle
People run away when they hear gun shots not towards them and he left the scene before cops arrived.
I unironically run towards any commotion I hear, I can't help myself, it's fun, I MUST see what is going on and who is being shot. Once I got to see a pedophile rapist get wasted by the police, it was pretty cool, good reward, I will continue running towards gunfire in the future
The key is to eventually become the source of gunfire to which strangers flock. When you're standing in the middle of a crowd with an empty mag and casing all around you, surrounded by onlookers and police officers screaming gibberish through a microphone - then you've made it big.
Those Americans you're talking about live in rural small towns and will defend their neighborhoods. Nobody is going to go out and try to defend their shithole metropolitan nigcity. It isn't worth it and you'll probably end up getting arrested yourself
Real life ain't like GTA you moronic frick. Someone has to call it in and you can't just ring up and be like I heard gunshots plz halp and then they all instantly know where they came from
One of the dumbest quotes of all time by how it pretty much always gets misused. If an old guy is doing a job that anyone with any skill or experience would be so far above even having to take, like say a protection job that pays shit all, or a cop who is stuck at the same low rank for decades, someone in the military who is still just a lowly grunt, that's not a sign they are secretly a badass with extreme competence, that's a sign they are incompetent and placed where they can cause the least problems for their superiors.
Well in this case it's not being misused, he actually is a badass so...?
Way to misunderstand it while pointing out that people misunderstand it.
I don't think anybody thinks an old fat security guard is badass. You are the only moron here.
>Noooo, everything has to work out like it likely would depending on the skills of the people in the scene, just because it does, OKAY? There's no room for slightly unexpected events to take place in a fictional movie for reasons related to the ideas in the film, GOT IT buster?
This is the movie that made Tom Cruise believable as a tough guy. Every other time he tried to act tough prior to Collateral it was super cringe. Movies like MI:2 come to mind. But ever since Collateral he's been channeling Vincent in all his movies ever since. Especially the Jack Reacher movies, which are better than the tv show. Because that other guy can't act.
Some actors don't find their "voice" until the right role comes along. People literally cannot remember and time when Mark Harmon was not a based grizzled tough guy. Even though prior to that role he was nothing but a bland, milquetoast ,softy in every role prior to NCIS. Same with Cruise. Prior to Collateral he always came across as a pretty faced boy-man trying to act tough.
For whatever reason this is the movie that made me dislike Foxx, realize he plays himself in lots of other movies, and that I could never accept him as a serious character.
Agreed. Ton of different actors they should’ve chosen and if they desperately needed to insert a Black then Smith, Jackson, or Washington would’ve been a better choice. Frick, even Don Cheadle would’ve been better than Foxx.
Morgan Freeman does the same. Every time someone calls these people "incredible actors" they secretly worship blacks. Try it with your friends, I guarantee it.
Not him but >Thief > Miami Vice (series) > Manhunter > Last of the Mohicans > Heat > Collateral > Miami Vice (movie)
Except for one he really got worse as time went on.

Michael Mann's best film is Ferrari. It has Sarah Gadon.
>Sarah Gadon on Michael Mann: “He cares so much about every little thing happening in the frame. He is driving everybody towards perfection and if that means we're going to do 50 takes of something, we do 50 takes. You just get a sense that he's watching everything like a hawk, but he's also very fun and playful.”
I'll never understand Manhunter. Graham's actor was fricking sleepwalking through that entire movie stg, the aesthetic can only carry it so far
Plus Cox is barely in it
Always thought it was an interesting choice to give Cruise the whole gray look/theme with the hair and suit. Wonder what the reasoning was. Maybe just to make him stand out and be more memorable?
No. His height isn't his why he is popular. In fact, it probably would have hurt his early career since it's difficult to get tall guys into frame. It only became an issue when women got taller/skinnier.
He's already one of the biggest and has been for like 3 decades
No. His height isn't his why he is popular. In fact, it probably would have hurt his early career since it's difficult to get tall guys into frame. It only became an issue when women got taller/skinnier.
His scientology connections carry him into all of these roles. It wouldn't matter if he was 6'5 like the Rock.
He'd be about 1.36 times as big as he is now if he were 6' tall.
nta but I recall Mann stating this in an interview, might've been the same one he mentions the grayscale and where they got his suit tailored too. apparently there was a very elaborate back story for Vincent that never got integrated into the movie, they thought it was better to keep his past hidden so as to further dehumanize him in contrast to Max.
Vincent was basically Guts but from the modern era. It's easy to tell. He was probably molested and abused as a child and so went into military service and become a merc once he got out.
>apparently there was a very elaborate back story for Vincent
In the making of Mann talks about how the script writers had to have a very elaborate backstory for every character on screen. To make them more real and believable. I think it might be the most kino thing I have ever heard a director say.
Movie kind of sucked. Better than Phone Booth I guess, but Tom Cruise's hair looks fake as frick, Jaime Fox is annoying, abd Vincent talks a whole lot of shit but then gives Jaime way too many seconsmd chances, totally undermining his ...dementia moment sorry. His scariness or whatever. I'll probably remember the word I was looking for as soon as I hit Post.
the guys voice and the way his hair flies behind him never fail to make me laugh. although, I don't know why
because wiggers trying to be tough is always comical, especially when they get slotted by a cartel sociopath
You may only post in this topic if you have a USP 45.
that's hilarious

12, actually.
>Gunshots echo loudly in the alley

>he's never been in an American city
Welcome to the hustle and bustle of the big city anon. It's magical!
>No one hears or does anything
Who moron and do what exactly?
>Who moron
You

Euthanise your moronic ass.

Oak Cliff?
No, it's a "nice" suburb on lake ray Hubbard that is now filled with Black folk and an ever increasing crime rate

Yup, you foreign gays don't piss your pants over a little gunfire do you?
It was during the nightly pledge of allegiance
bruh that's probably related to the themes of urban alienation that are obvious in the movie and even talked about by the characters
dude it's LA

it might happen one day. If I die, I die.

Americans will tell you that they need guns to defend their neighbourhood, but then won't defend it
Those Americans you're talking about live in rural small towns and will defend their neighborhoods. Nobody is going to go out and try to defend their shithole metropolitan nigcity. It isn't worth it and you'll probably end up getting arrested yourself
>its L.A.
Sound doesn't exists in movies except if the author explicitly wants a character or characters to hear it. I've noticed this too.
Real life ain't like GTA you moronic frick. Someone has to call it in and you can't just ring up and be like I heard gunshots plz halp and then they all instantly know where they came from
Beware the old man in a young man's profession.
youtube comments cringe ass
>cringe ass
Disgusting Black person zoomer homosexual
the scene that convinced millions of armchair operators that they could draw on a drawn gun

Yeah, I hear this all the time about fast food workers and mall security guards. Such idiocy!
morons it's "Beware of an old man in a profession where men usually die young."
This movie is certified kinography, yes?
The ending was really stupid. Am I to assume the trained killer shot the metal door frame THAT HE KNEW WAS THERE instead of the windows?
Vincent was bleeding and injured from being shot earlier.
>Noooo, everything has to work out like it likely would depending on the skills of the people in the scene, just because it does, OKAY? There's no room for slightly unexpected events to take place in a fictional movie for reasons related to the ideas in the film, GOT IT buster?
Yes. It also has very strong 2000s vibes.
this is like those home security commercials where the burglar is a white guy with a beanie. these guys would 100% be nigs irl
>this is like those home security commercials where the burglar is a white guy with a beanie.
kek
Obviously. Even in the 70s scorsese had to change the race of the pimps in taxi driver
The attacker also has some kind of nazi tattoo iirc, Mann just loves adding that to all his movies
Vincent is real lucky that other guy's gun got caught in his waistband for several seconds
Why didnt he just shoot them in the back instead of letting them turn around and hold him at gunpoint?
>t. Coward
It's a man thing, you wouldn't get it.
he enjoys his work, it isn't just a job for him. it was kino

I can't watch this movie anymore because that "someday" speech will make me kill myself
Yeah those guys were definitely written as black.
For whatever reason this is the movie that made me dislike Foxx, realize he plays himself in lots of other movies, and that I could never accept him as a serious character.

Man it would be legitimately unsettling to meet a true nihilist like Vincent.
>CHOOMBI CHOOMA GO!!!!
>(READY STEADY GO!!)
for me it's Manhunter > Miami Vice > Heat > Thief > Collateral > whatever else
watch The Insider again.
absolute DOGSHIT ranking order.
oh yeah, big guy? what's yours?
Not him but
>Thief > Miami Vice (series) > Manhunter > Last of the Mohicans > Heat > Collateral > Miami Vice (movie)
Except for one he really got worse as time went on.
eh that's fine
>contrarian
go back
>go back
Or what?
Heat and Collateral and the top and Miami Vice at the bottom because I'm not a contrarian homosexual.
>Miami Vice
The movie or the show? The first episode alone makes his recent movies look like dogshit.
The show was based.
The movie was dogshit. Such a disappointment. Saw them both when they came out.

contrarian take

>13 shots exactly per mag
Bueno.
Is there really nightclubs like this full of hot East Asian girls in America?
tom would get cancelled for this if it were released today.
Why? The guys he shot were thieves and also white.
appropriating black culture through AAVE.
Always thought it was an interesting choice to give Cruise the whole gray look/theme with the hair and suit. Wonder what the reasoning was. Maybe just to make him stand out and be more memorable?
He said in an interview it was to make Vincent seem like a machine; grey cold steel. Very inhuman and unforgiving, like a Terminator almost.
Interesting hadn't heard that before, makes sense
To get rid of that 'boyish' look that was hampering him from being taken seriously as someone intimidating.
it makes him look sexy.
Never seen this movie and I really like his character design.
>Maybe just to make him stand out and be more memorable?
The exact opposite, a hitman should blend in and attract as little attention as possible
Would Tom Cruise be a bigger star if he was 6' tall?
He's already one of the biggest and has been for like 3 decades
No. His height isn't his why he is popular. In fact, it probably would have hurt his early career since it's difficult to get tall guys into frame. It only became an issue when women got taller/skinnier.

He'd be about 1.36 times as big as he is now if he were 6' tall.
You know everyone ITT specifically saw that joke and specifically chose not to make it, out of respect for one another.
And then you roll in here after 94 posts and SHIT ALL OVER THE PLACE.
>SHIT ALL OVER THE PLACE.
imagine the smell lol
Okay same gays what's the joke?
if you don't get it you don't get to be part of it
plus you called me a samegay and that hurts my feelings.
He'd be a foot bigger.
Why the frick does he have grey hair
Vincent had an abusive father and grew up in Gary, Indiana then became an assassin. that shit ages you.
kek

I'm 30 and my hair is pretty much grey
Vincent did nothing wrong except when he went to the jazz club. That was weird.
Which one should I go see in theater?
Dark Knight. I know really good theater if you're in the Aurora, CO area.
This movie is so beautiful brehs
Recommend me some city kinos brehs
Movie kind of sucked. Better than Phone Booth I guess, but Tom Cruise's hair looks fake as frick, Jaime Fox is annoying, abd Vincent talks a whole lot of shit but then gives Jaime way too many seconsmd chances, totally undermining his ...dementia moment sorry. His scariness or whatever. I'll probably remember the word I was looking for as soon as I hit Post.
People forget Javier Bardem was in this movie 3 years before he played Anton.
It's a good movie.
Supposedly, this has the most realistic depiction of computer hacking of any major mainstream film.
As a hacker I concur. I am also 6'2" and have a six pack.
I said hacking, not hackers.
>IDF and NSA are badguys
very realistic
It's actually great, and might as well be a masterpiece compared to the rest of the slop released since 2015.
the asiatic is awful
you can tell all her lines are in chinese and ordered in a way so they sound like she's speaking english
now that the dust has settled was vincent a terrible assassin? why didn't he just shoot people with a sniper rifle from long range?
