Tony Scott chooses death
#5
Phil - the opening Congressman Jason Robards versus NSA apparatchik Jon Voight scenes still resonate.

1998 distribution - a prescient peek into the world of drones and cyber twitchery.

Harry Caul of The Conversation metamorphoses into Edward Lyle the NSA renegade.

Gene Hackman in fine form.

Like Man On Fire and Spy Game, a film about betrayal, selling out, the grubby nature of power, the momentary act of redemption.

Quote: Robert Clayton Dean: What the hell just happened?
Edward "Brill" Lyle: I blew up the building.
Dean: Why?
Lyle: Because you made a phone call!
"It means this War was never political at all, the politics was all theatre, all just to keep the people distracted...."
"Proverbs for Paranoids 4: You hide, They seek."
"They are in Love. Fuck the War."

Gravity's Rainbow, Thomas Pynchon
