If yall fukk with this...watch the Conversation. Its got Hackman in it also and is basically the prequel to this
I had to ctrl+f for Conversation and very glad someone suggested it.

I got the drop on the films being brothers, but not sequels a few years back and was very pleased with the OG.

Good movie but damn it's unrealistic as shyt. Will went from being one of the dumbest and corniest nikkas to a pseudo, but still dumb, spy within 36 hours.

I watched again around the time I made that post, ether earlier this year or late December 2022, and it held up well.

it's still Tony Scott, and there's too many car chases and extended actions scenes, and a lot of the post 1980's paranoia cliches linger "this goes all the way to the top", where senators are ordering men killed, (which felt a little timely) and Chief Of Staff to the president are the real evil.

I grew up on those movies from the mid to late 90's, and still love them. I was watching a lot of Will's old stuff, after the Oscars, and damn, he was/is good. The plot is a little messier than it needs to be, and the direction is choppy, but it's a solid thriller. I could have watched just an adult drama about Smith, Regina Hall, and their marriage probably.
