Phone Booth (film): Difference between revisions

Line 27:

* [[Completely Missing the Point]]: [[Michael Bay]] was in talks to direct. Supposedly, the first thing he asked when meeting with the writers was "How do we get him out of the booth?" In fairness, he may simply have been asking how to ''end'' the film, but there's no way to be sure.

** Why didn't he just read the last few pages of the script?

* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: {{Spoiler|A rare non fighting example. When Stu is talking to the sniper, he secretly uses his cell phone to all Kelly, who in turn gives the phone to Captain Raimey. Both of which can hear Stu arguing with the Sniper and let in on the fact that he's being held hostage. Raimey in turn speaks code to Stu letting him know the cops have found the Sniper's location and are closing in on him. While on the surface it seemed the Sniper was none the wiser until Stu smugly lets him know they're coming for him. However, he was way ahead of them, leaving the Pizza guy's corpse as a Patsy while he escaped.}}

* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: The Sniper knows every trick in the hostage taking book.

* [[Deadly Delivery]]: Inverted; the villain {{spoiler|lures a pizza delivery man to his hiding place and kills him to fake his own suicide.}}
