CORNY and over dramatic (spoilers)

Denzel and Travolta picked a really bad movie. They are both excellent actors but the movie sucked.
Where do I start...random raves

The whole "bring home a gallon of milk" possibly the worst/corniest line in a movie ever.

Travolta's character just made about 300 million in the stock market yet he packs around a measley 3 million toward the end of the movie.

Travolta's character is a genius through the whole movie yet he takes a cab in New York, during rush hour.

Travolta's character just waited patiently for denzel to cross those subway tracks to get to him.

I don't know what the other two bad guys were doing at the end...travolta's already hailed a cab and drove off while Denzel has time to steal a truck and call 911. And what are the other two bad guys doing? They're just now crossing the freakin street.

And don't tell me the whole getting the money driven to the subway scene wasnt over dramatic. Their was more blood spilled transfering money then there was in the whole movie.

I love the webcam on the floor thing. Yea no Terrosist is going to notice that. Nor are they going to not notice the hostages having conversations with each other. How could they they are only 5 feet away.

Also love how Travolta's can check the news on his computer but somehow misses the whole streaming webcam that is 10 feet behind him.

The computer must have not had a screen saver.

There is only one way out of the entire tunnel system and guess what the bad guys escaped out of it and the entire police dept must have forgot that it existed.

The train is speeding out of control and yet none of the hostages tries to stop it.

The sniper had a clear shot at travolta and didnt take it. (and for those who say, then the other bad guys would have started killing hostages...my answer is they didnt do sh*t when the mexican dude got shot)

Also why didnt the sniper take a photo or something of travolta? They could have known who they was dealing with a whole lot sooner. You would think if they could get a gun down their, they could get a camera too.

I'm sure a cop would just give a civilian a gun.
