      How much do you have to pay guys to defend asshole billionaires? If the bullets really start flying I hope they ditch their jobs for the sake of their families.

        Yep, Only way people will lay down their lives for others is if they believe in a cause they are furthering, or to protect a loved one. I don’t think bodyguards fit into either of these categories when the principal is some billionaire businessman.

        They’ll do their jobs sure, but not when it’s time to risk their own lives.

        Probably less than you would think. However… You have to pay them a lot if you don’t want them to be easy targets for bribes.

        Such a fantastic movie. This scene is top 3 shooting scenes too. They did it in downtown LA on location and reverb off the buildings is visceral.

          Yes, absolutely mind blowing movie and scene, especially if you have a chance to catch it on the big screen.

          The reason for the great sound (if I remember correctly) is the use of blanks, instead of lazy post-editing visuals and sound effects (like in most movies). And also the depth of characters, the acting and the cinematography all come together into this amazing film.

          I’m jealous if you haven’t seen it, amazing experience, I really recommend you check it out.

          My wife hates action movies but loves this one, always cries at the end. Very deep exploration of some (flawed) characters and sad life stories, for both policemen and criminals - the realistic action scenes and 90s LA are just the cool backdrop.

      Now that you know the movie, search for the bank robbery scene. It may be the best gunfight ever filmed.

    I feel like it’s worth pointing out that his character was the only one that got away.

    The shittier version before Michael Mann remade the same exact movie, but with more money.
