- Emmerich is rejected here; The Truman Show and The Americans compete as his peak, with Pride and Glory also praised.

Keitel’s matchbook-plan speech
In the discussion (2)
Approx. transcript time · 00:59:05Read transcript
- Keitel’s high-energy scolding seems wrong for a controlled character, with his performance compared to a declining star coasting; the counterargument is that his yelling is enjoyable.
- The staged bridge panic is deliberately exaggerated within the story, while Liotta and De Niro’s intensity is defended as appropriate.
