This is Matt’s recommendation. I asked him
his suspense movie recommendation when we were chatting at the café. His first
push was “Fugitive,” but I asked another one for new. I’ve already seen “Fugitive.”
Well, this movie is all about Tom Cruise
acting crazy killer. Oh, the scariest part of this whole movie was definitely
his face. And the scene where he runs like a running machine from the hospital,
the action was even scary to me.
Jamie Fox, actually I didn’t recognize when
Matt told me his name, but due to his simple name, now I remember it
completely. He did really good job on this movie.
The story is well organized from
introduction to the ending. The fact that the lady Jamie Fox met in the taxi in
the beginning is the key. Well, I was surprised that the lady (Jada Pinkett
Smith) is the wife of Will Smith. She is very impressive look lady, very
beautiful.
I think the song selection was great. The
songs and the scene of L.A. got along really well. There’s something about
downtown of L.A. to me. Maybe those buildings reminds me of the excitement when
I saw the huge freeway. It looks like a monster load to a girl who came from
Japan. I want to visit L.A. again.
Now, I found the one song I thought good
from the movie. Actually it was song of Groove Armada feat. Richie Havens. Here
it is.
Max: How do you like being a lawyer?
Annie: What are you, psychic?
Max: A little bit. There's the pinstripe suit. Elegant, not flashy. A top drawer briefcase that you live out on, and the purse, A Botega. Anyway, a guy comes into my cab with a sword. I figured he's a sushi chef.
Jada Pinkett Smith changes her hair style a lot!
And this is Jamie Foxx out of movie. He looks a lot different... I like the guy in the movie better.
Also, check the PV too. It's just a common PV that has been seen so many times. I was expecting something new.... You can do better, Jamie!!
