“Look, I need to know what I stand to win,” says the gas station proprietor in No Country For Old Mento hitman Anton Chigurh after being asked to call the result of a coin flip for unknown stakes. He finds the idea of a patron asking him what's the most he’s ever lost on a coin toss (shortly before being asked to call the result of a coin toss) to ...
In most films, action scenes are used as an escape. They’re the moments of the movie that allow the audience to finally stop thinking about all the plot and prelude in favor of simply watching everything come to a head in a moment of intensity. It may not always be pleasant, but is darkly satisfying. Tension can exist in action scenes, but it’s oft...
It seems so silly to worry about the conclusion of a movie like Back to the Future, doesn’t it? After all, it’s ultimately just a summer blockbuster movie, and if there’s one type of movie where you can usually rest assured that our characters are going to escape from, it’s a summer blockbuster. Part of the reason that the tension in Back to the Fu...
There’s no such thing as a pleasant movie torture sequence. Nobody walks out of a movie saying “Well that scene with the bamboo poles under the fingernails had me in stitches!” Still, at least most torture sequences in movies allow the audience to be clued into the situation. Whether it’s watching our heroes engage in torture for information or wat...
Although Jurassic Park’s interpretation of velociraptors isn’t entirely accurate (the physical characteristics of the creatures are actually closer to that of the Dromaeosauridae), there’s no denying that they were the breakout stars of the movie. While most childhood fears involving dinosaurs involved being confronted by a terrifyingly large creat...
It’s a shame Sicario flew under the mainstream film radar when it released in 2015. Due to a poor marketing campaign and a somewhat limited release, many people failed to discover that this film -- about a group of agents trying to diffuse a hostile drug war creeping into American across the Mexico border -- is one of the most exciting and engaging...
Full Metal Jacket is, rightfully so, best remembered for its opening half. Led by the frighteningly magnetic performance of R. Lee Ermey as Sgt. Hartman, the film’s depiction of a marine training camp has long served as the golden standard of the concept. It’s not that Full Metal Jacketinvented the idea of the abusive drill sergeant and the effects...
There are two scenes in Trainspottingthat deal with the process of getting clean from heroin. The first, famously referred to by Renton as the “Sick Boy Method,” involves mushroom soup, tomato soup, some valium, three buckets, a television, ice cream, various stomach aides, and is accompanied by a jovial classic score that just hammers home how eve...
In a way, almost all of 127 Hoursis one great instance of pure tension. This (mostly) true story of a hiker named Aron Ralston -- who finds himself hopelessly trapped between rocks while mountain climbing for the amount of time you see noted in the film’s title -- is quite simply one of the more harrowing tales of human endurance in the face of con...
Quentin Tarantino may not be opposed to drawing inspiration from various film sources, but when it comes to creating scenes of tension, the man is in a class of his own. There are actually a few scenes in Pulp Fictionthat are up there with the all-time greats in that regard. For instance, there’s the scene where Jules and Vincent confront the room ...
