Movie Review: A Walk Among the Tombstones



DIRECTOR: Oh, I know! Right?
WRITER: It's true! Without the sound, movies aren't as intense.  I have a sound guy that'll make the music so intense it'll marinade them in fear & discomfort.
PRODUCER: Absolutely. but if the visuals don't line up, it won't work. How are you gonna balance that?
LIAM: I don't understand. I thought this was an action flick.
PRODUCER: Well, not really. It's not like your "Taken" flicks. It's more...suspense-thrilling movie.
LIAM: You mean "thriller."
WRITER: Yes, a suspense "thriller."
DIRECTOR: But we'll imply the fear. I'm going to hijack their imaginations, and make them assume the worst. Scare the sh&# out of them. For a very...long...time...
LIAM: I like that. You have a point. The scariest thing to a person is what's in their head. And I like how the fear builds and builds because you don't understand the reason behind all the horrible things happening. They will fear what they don't understand. People crave an explanation, like an insane addiction. Worse than cocaine. No, worse than heroine.
PRODUCER: Right. It's the type of story to make you paranoid, and scared of people, and untrustworthy.
LIAM: You're saying I can't trust you? You mean "untrusting," don't you?
PRODUCER: Shut up, Liam.
