For example, in the opening scene a New York City subway train is hijacked by a bunch of thugs led by a ruthless SOB named Ryder (played by John Travolta). Ryder then radios the control center to state his demand: $10 million in 60 minutes or the hostages will be killed at a rate of one per minute. On the other side of the radio is Walter Garber (Denzel Washington), who happens to be a transit employee currently under investigation for bribery. Ryder decides that he&#8217;ll only deal with Garber, marginalizing the NYPD&#8217;s chief negotiator (John Turturro).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee: <\/strong>I thought James Gandolfini did a great job in this movie playing the mayor of NYC; I also thought Travolta looked like a real bad ass in this movie.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me: <\/strong>What&#8217;s a sexy bad ass look like?<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee: <\/strong>I didn&#8217;t say Travolta looked like a &#8220;sexy&#8221; bad ass. I said he looked like a bad ass.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me: <\/strong>But would you consider John Travolta to be a &#8220;sexy&#8221; bad ass?<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee: <\/strong>I don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> Why not?<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee: <\/strong>I don&#8217;t know!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> Well, help me out here, Honeybee. What do you think a &#8220;sexy&#8221; bad ass might look like?<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee: <\/strong>How did we get on this subject? I guess a &#8220;sexy&#8221; bad ass is somebody who is very good looking and looks like a bad ass &#8212; unlike you, who happens to look like a dork.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> Easy, girl. I&#8217;m just&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee:<\/strong> Look, as an actor he was very convincing in the role. And then you throw in that evil mustache and the tats, and those sunglasses and he looked like &#8212;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> A bad ass.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me: <\/strong>Just not a sexy bad ass.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee:<\/strong> No; I think John Travolta is a <strong><em>great<\/em><\/strong> actor. There are very few movies where he seems to blow it &#8212; <em>Michael<\/em>, where he played that angel, is one of the few where I thought he pretty much sucked. I really liked him in <em>Grease<\/em>, <em>Saturday Night Fever, Pulp Fiction, Face\/Off<\/em>, and <em>A Civil Action. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Me: <\/strong>Did you like Travolta in <em>Welcome Back Kotter<\/em>?<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee:<\/strong> When I was a kid, I <strong><em>loved<\/em><\/strong> him in <em>Welcome Back Kotter<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> Did you have any TigerBeat posters of him on your bedroom wall?<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee: <\/strong>You know it; he&#8217;s a cutie!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> I see; I guess it <strong><em>is<\/em><\/strong> kind of tough to be &#8220;a cutie&#8221; and a &#8220;sexy bad ass&#8221; at the same time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee:<\/strong> Are you out of your mind today? What gives?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> I&#8217;m fine &#8212; but I am curious now &#8212; what do you think about Denzel Washington? Do you think <em><strong>he&#8217;s<\/strong><\/em> sexy?<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee: <\/strong>He&#8217;s not my type, but he is a <em>very<\/em> good actor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> I think Denzel is sexy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee: <\/strong>I&#8217;ll pretend I didn&#8217;t hear that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> Who is the better actor? Travolta or Washington?<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee: <\/strong>Very tough call &#8211; but if you are going to press me, and I know you are, I&#8217;ll save the few readers who are still following this lame movie review a minute of their life and say Travolta. The guy does everything Denzel can do, plus he can dance and does comedy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> Agreed; but now <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id18329-economic-collapse-101-ten-ways-to-prepare-for-the-unknown-2.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">we&#8217;re out of time<\/a> &#8212; we&#8217;re already beyond my 750 word limit and I refuse to edit a single word of our conversation today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee: <\/strong>Then this is officially the worst review we ever did, and we&#8217;ve done a lot of bad ones.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> In five words or less, summarize the movie&#8217;s strengths and weaknesses, tell us if there was anything director Tony Scott could have done to improve the movie, and then and give the readers your recommendation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Honeybee: <\/strong>I think this movie was &#8212;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Me:<\/strong> Hut!
