      i always argue people Vincent was not a bad guy, just a pure professional, and better yet, even if he was planning to kill max at first, he wasn't anymore by the middle of the movie.
      when Max got in his face and called him a monster, you can tell it struck a nerve cause then Vincent lash out at him aswell, but at this very moment, Max got Vince's respect.
      he prooved he had balls, he made him question himself, he wasn't just another normie, in fact, at this point both of them were the closest to a friend each other had.
      Vince protect Max from his boss, he protect him again during the club shootout (even giving him the "i got you covered bro" nod), give him his wallet back after the brief case affair,
      pretty much force him to call the girl he has fallen in love with, is extremely polite and nice thoward his mother, ...
      Vince started caring about Max, and in a sense, saw him as a way to recover some of his lost humanity. just like Max started getting a hold of a his life only cause Vince bad assery ended up rubbing off on him.
      Vincent isn't a real vilain, he's a tragic character, and if Max hasn't been so much of a normie, and accepted Vince for who he was, they would have been the best friends in the world.
      they're are each other Ying and Yang, and made each other a better/stronger person.
      imho one of if not THE Cruise's best character.

  • @manassurya2019
    @manassurya2019 9 місяців тому +414

    That final piece of dialogue where the detective explains the other cab driver incident is really important for the whole tone of the movie. It makes it clear to the audience that Vincent will kill Max if he finishes his "job", raising the stakes of the movie and taking away all hope that Vincent can be reasoned with to spare his life. It also puts into context Vincent's later scenes when he's pretending to care about Max.

    • @culleno872
      @culleno872 7 місяців тому +68

      I’m glad someone else caught that, I find it interesting that Vincent’s character has seemingly been using this exact method of taxi chauffeuring to each hit when in LA, I thought it made the assassin aspect of the movie feel more realistic

    • @Ultimatum4
      @Ultimatum4 3 місяці тому +22

      The jazz club sequence that follows this is also an important part in Max coming to this realisation himself. When Max asks Vincent if he would have spared the jazzman if he answered Vincent's question correctly, and Vincent doesn't answer, it clues Max in that Vincent will most likely kill him even if Max follows all his instructions perfectly.

    • @nuntana2
      @nuntana2 3 місяці тому +3

      Yep. He doesn't do anything without reason, like visiting Max's mom... not out of the goodness of his heart but to get potential leverage on him later. Same with wanting to know who Annie was. One cold, badass MF. Jada also did well. Great movie.

    • @karga23
      @karga23 2 місяці тому +5

      You're right to a degree. Vincent only cares about getting the job done, yes. Max is just a tool for him to go through the killings undetected. However, I'd argue that Vincent also despises Max's life choices or rather lack thereof. So, I think at least some of his remarks towards Max came from an honest place. Of course by doing so, he also ignited the fuel in Max that ultimately caused his downfall. Nevertheless, it's a great movie from begining to the end and Cruise's performance is damn near perfect.

As narcissists go though, Tom isn't a complete shit head, but I'm sure he's still a handful to deal with regularly.

    Listen to Michael Mann's commentary on the scene. Cruise spent weeks preparing for gun draws and shooting for these scenes. This is a perfect execution of the Mozambique/FAILURE Drill: two quick shots to center mass (chest) followed by a shot to the head. The shots to the chest to stop forward momentum/movement, followed by a confirming kill shot. It was used against unarmored combatants using small arms, but that's less the case for high-end small arms training.
    Following the the first execution, Vincent isn't looking at the barely-alive second thief but looking around for witnesses as the next potential threat. The briefcase isn't going anywhere, so he doesn't need to locate it immediately. The first thief wasn't wearing
    This is all the craft of acting, spending days to weeks learning the details of their roles to do the physicality by rote.

    This character of Vincent is incredible, he even has a strange look, an "aura" as if he were an alien being, his coldness, his sharpness, how he looks in the minute 1:25 al 1:30 look like a real alien observing the world, and how he speaks, his accent, the way he explains things about his behavior throughout the movie suggest that he is not a human from this planet, at least that's how I see him, the first time I saw this movie many years ago I had that impression, actually in the scene when he talks about space and stars and all those weird things i go "wow this guy is an E.T" hahahaha, this is one of the best movies of all time, if some producers had a bit of a brain they could make one or more prequels about this character, if they wanted to make it a human of this world would have to tell how he became a murderer, who he was before choosing the dark path, etc., but if they were more smart they would directly make this character an alien, that after a terrible path of destruction and death would find its end at the hands of the taxi driver of this movie, it would surely be a super series of movies XD

  • @arthurw.3062
    @arthurw.3062 10 місяців тому +9

    0:33 that ominous tune fills the space when Tom Cruise's character walks into this scene, it's like he symbolizes death or a disaster inevitably approaching. Although, just by the sight of his character filling up the screen the audience already knows that the two thugs are going to die. The thrill of the scene and the cut to jamie foxx's face just drives up the tension, which is not the thugs approaching Tom Cruise's character with a gun pointed at him---that's not the source of the tension---but rather how, and when the thugs are going to die in the next few seconds.

    Despite all the subtle bonding Vincent forced on max with occasional talks of life, he had no intention to leave Max alive after his job. He’s a cold blooded hitman & a full blown psychopath. He died because Max went off course & unexpected scenarios led to an unexpected bullet shot killing him. But he had no remorse. He accepted death because he believed it to be a full circle of his life. A brilliant character. A legendary villain. One of my favorite characters.

      The only possible criticism I'd give to his draw style here was to use his left arm to push the perp's gun to Cruise's left, not to his right where it not only runs the risk of being in the line of fire of his right, shooting, hand (note, here Cruise moved his left arm out of the way, but it could have just as easily been in the way) but in moving his left arm out of the way as he had to do to clear his shot, could have given the perp a chance to reacquire Cruise as a target.

    This scene not only hammer the fact Vincent is a cold blooded professional, a killing machine, but also sigh his death sentence at the end of the movie. Killing is an everyday occurence for him, he's that dangerous because he do this the same way everytime, until this perfect mozambique drill is a simple for him as closing the door or showing a business card. Which is way at the end of the movie, in the last shootout with Max, he do it the exact same way. The usual business ... but finally at the wrong place. When you look at the last scene of the train fight, there's 3 bullet impacts on the train door. at Max's chest level, one at his head. And Max managed to nail one lucky shot to Vincent's chest. For all the whole rule of chaos, survival of the strongest, darwinist point of view of Vincent, what's killed him was precisely what he reproached to Max. To never try to change, to settle in a boring routine. Vincent was right. You have to adapt to survive. But he didn't saw that was precisely what he didn't tried. To change.
