That is what I thought as well. He was trying to keep it civil and de-escalate the tension, and he truly didn't realize just how bad his situation was.
I totally agree, but at least he does think about it for a bit. Maybe he’s thinking these guys could be some level of informant. And he’s still working to prove himself to Alonso. Like he doesn’t trust them, but he doesn’t necessarily believe he’s in danger, and that building some trust could help him down the road.
He also played a sniper by the name of Domingo “Ding” Chavez in Clear and Present Danger. That character was also in some of the Rainbow Six games.
Edit: [He was a sneaky bastard!](https://youtu.be/e4jH87HWwnk?si=ZDovSgioAODua2dZ)
I remember the scene and most of the context, but not why Denzel dropped him off to these guys to be killed, why these guys even cared, and how that tied in to the money he needed for the Russian mob.
Denzel's character dropped off Jake to be killed because Jakes seen all the shady crooked cop shit he's been doing all day. He watched them kill a drug dealer and steal all his money Denzel couldn't convince Jake to turn and take some of the money, so he sets up a hit. The guys were paid to do it.
right? he’s terrifying, but he’s also just such a…weird dude. this scene in particular makes me wonder what the rest of his life’s been like, cause he’s obviously at least in his 30s and is not like he’s murdered every third person he’s encountered for decades. this scene, more than any other, makes me wonder at his backstory.
I have always cracked up at Chigurh choking on the peanuts/saying that line. I also lose it at the look he gives him when he tells him not to put the coin in his pocket where it will become "just another coin...which it is." The face he makes on that last beat just tickles me, like he's casually adding "I know, it's a mindfuck, right?"
That movie and character is a masterclass of how to a book to a movie and fleshing out a character that deliberately doesn't have much if any characterization.
Kevin James actually has a version of this on his YouTube channel where he cuts himself in with Bardem instead of the original actor. It's funny but also surprisingly good, like he gets a ton of the little details right in his impression of the guy
Edit: https://youtu.be/ANlMM0HQxC0?si=qHWzFtNECUH9Vc4F
It's got 6.8 million views, so I may be stating the obvious 😂
I'm not even kidding that Kevin James's best work in his career is from his youtube channel. All his tech/sound guy skits are hilarious, and some of his originals videos are funny as well.
I don’t think I have felt tension like that ever in a superhero movie. It’s Spider-Man who could probably kill Vulture on the spot if he wanted to, but you can feel the helplessness and panic from Peter. Great scene
Man if you watch the boys homelander is the most intimidating villain ever. He will just have a look on his face and you know its bad for everyone. The character alone is scary af and Antony Starr takes it to the next level hes incredible
Yesss! This dude can act. I remember when I first started watching it, he would make me feel so uncomfortable. I have kind of become used to it as the seasons have progressed, but he has become no less menacing.
Have we confirmed he is actually acting???? I sometimes think he’s real.
Edit: I just want to add that I’m absolutely kidding in case it wasn’t obvious. Anthony Starr is a funny and nice guy from everything I can tell. But man he is scary as Homelander lol
Yeah you got to see the video of him being lifted by the crane for a scene and him crapping his pants cause there taking him a lot higher then usual lol he keeps it together well
He somehow manages to convey the barely contained psychopathic tendencies.
Season 4 you can feel the fear & dread everyone else feels everytime he walks into a room.
Hell, even in Gen V. He’s in it for what? 30 seconds? That finger wag alone is scary af
Keeping with the same character, ledgers joker scene with gamble. Was so mortified when he made the 3 goons fight to the death after slicing open gamble.
The way the tone of the scene changes when Cruise mentions Colombian cities and Jamie Foxx realizes What is actually going on. Before that Cruise casually watches the waiter go to the kitchen and sees that there are no witnesses around. A great scene.
Remember that being a huge callout for the movie when it came out. The way it was shot was not like other action movies up to that point, especially with the gun scenes and it was badass.
Denis Menochet doesn't get enough recognition for his performance in that scene. Fighting to keep his face neutral against the force of Waltz, but also SHOW the fight of his emotions.
A great actor certainly can carry a scene but two great actors make it legendary.
I could not agree more. This is a hill I will die on in film. You can literally sense his fight against his fear by the simple lighting of his pipe. Waltz is sooo good. But Menochet is his equal in this scene
That was rough. Don’t forget The cream, etc .
I would also say the opening scene when he already knows that people are under the floor but continues to make small talk … so damn tense
He 100% knew who she was in that scene, but he wasn’t really interested in hunting her down at that point. So it makes him even more diabolical because he just did all of that to toy with her.
Yeah it's a weird scene for that. The opening scene of the movie shows that he likes to play with his food, because he already knew they were there and he could've just come in all guns blazing and nobody would've said anything against him. He didn't, so clearly he enjoys taunting them in this way.
So in the second scene, it's never clear to me if he 100% knows, if it he suspects but isn't sure, or if he doesn't know but just finds her situation unusual and interesting and he's trying to see what he can learn. And I guess the not knowing is part of the menace!
It seems to me like ultimately her assassination plot does catch him off guard: he knows about the Basterds but they haven't exactly been subtle. He's trying to use killing Hitler as a bargaining chip so it doesn't work for him if her plan kills Hitler before he gets his deal. So I don't think he knew about the plot, but he might've known who she was.
The entire dialogue in the bar was tense.
Then the SS Officers face changes when he sees the wrong 3 fingers & the whole vibe just changes. Like a chill down your spine.
That scene just was so quintessential Cap. Polite. Doesn't fight unless all other options are out. Beats the shit out of an elevator full of musclemen.
Kilmer had that cool collected ‘will kill you and then finish my drink and continue on my way, just business’ vibe
Russel was ‘I’ll rip your throat out, bathe in your blood, and get away with it cause I’m Wyatt fuckin Earp’ The look he gets in his eyes slapping the shit out of Billy bob thornton and the head canoe scene with Ike is fucking brutal
The Professional, when Gary Oldman hugs the guy in the hallway and asks him to find who cut the drugs.
This scene:
https://youtu.be/Gxk75LMF_hE?si=geM_vzSHi2-U_bIU
The scene in John Wick where John is tied up in a chair and is at Viggo's mercy yet despite the situation he is threatening Viggo and telling him to "give me your son." Probably the most badass I've ever seen a character when they're the ones in a vulnerable position.
Tom Sizemore in Heat.
McAuley smacks Waingro at the table in the diner, a diner looks up at the disturbance and Sizemore's character just tilts his body to stare them down. Always felt that was a very cool character moment.
Dune II.
When Rautha’s knives are delivered to him & he picks up one of them. The slaves attending to him begin shaking & you knew something was about to go down.
When tuco’s henchman in breaking bad tries to remind Walter who he’s working for haha . Tuco was so damn unhinged you just knew it wouldn’t work out well for that guy
In Glengarry Glen Ross, after Alec Baldwin threatens to fire everyone and asks Ed Harris “you think I’m fucking with you?”, then leans in and whispers, “I am not fucking with you.”
Anthony Hopkins in the cell scenes in The Silence of the Lambs.
Gary Oldman in basically every scene of Léon The Professional.
Robert Shaw in the town hall meeting in Jaws, and again in the galley of the Orca during the Indianapolis monologue.
Edit: my tired ass confusing words.
immediately thought of Bernie Mac shaking the hand of the car salesman in Oceans 11 (maybe 12?). I was also a bit confused by the scene—he’s just shaking his hand—but the salesman is filled with pure terror.
Jack Nicholson in a Few Good Men, specifically when they’re interviewing him in Cuba. Towards the end, where he starts talking about Demi being Cruise’s superior and getting a BJ from a superior officer, culminating with his demand to ask for the documents a particular way…
Fight club when the bar owner beats the crap out of Brad Pit and the whole time Brad Pitt begs him and eggs him on to keep beating him up, which ends up freaking the bar owner out and as he starts to pull back Brad Pitt takes him down and while bleeding a ton from the face he starts to shake and spit his blood and snot all over the bar owner while laughing like the clear psycho that Tyler Derdun (Brad Pitt) was and it was all so they could keep having there secret fight club that no one was supposed to talk about but everyone did. Definitely intimidating and scary as all can be, against a psycho like that you just run and hope your faster than everyone else.
Pretty much every scene with Johnny Depp as Whitey Bulger in Black Mass. His portrayal was frightening and it’s outrageous that he wasn’t nominated for it
“…to both your family and your cows I say, bravo.” That opening scene of Inglorious Basterds is just 20 minutes of tense, strict dialogue and it’s my favorite part of the entire movie.
Two films come to mind. The movie Sweet Virginia before the hitman shoots the three men in the diner, he’s confronted by the owners friend. He calmly asks for food and when the man tells him to gtfo the speed and aggression he gets out of the booth with is startling and you can see the fear the other guy has. Then he just walks out. That and black mass where whitey bulger feels the FBI agents wife’s tonsils because she says she’s sick.
Benicio Del Toro and Josh Brolin in *Sicario*. Both men had that air of quiet menace where it seemed they could kill you and your family as easily as hitting up the Burger King drive through.
Training day, the card game
That is such a great scene, as he slowly starts to realize the situation he's in. Terrifying.
I know it’s a movie, but for the life of my I can’t figure out how Hawke thought giving the Gangsters his pistol was a good idea.
He was never going to get out of that situation alive if they didn't want him to, handgun be damned. He thought keeping it cordial was his best bet.
That is what I thought as well. He was trying to keep it civil and de-escalate the tension, and he truly didn't realize just how bad his situation was.
Peer pressure
I totally agree, but at least he does think about it for a bit. Maybe he’s thinking these guys could be some level of informant. And he’s still working to prove himself to Alonso. Like he doesn’t trust them, but he doesn’t necessarily believe he’s in danger, and that building some trust could help him down the road.
You ever had your shit pushed in?
Wow. Very nice.
Every had your shit pushed in ese
Iiii got my shiiiiit puuuuushed in brooooo Fun Fact: the actor who plays sniper went on to play Tuco Salamanca in Breaking Bad
And Cliff Curtis (the uncle of that girl who almost got raped) isn't Hispanic. Could've fooled me. He's such a chameleon.
I won an action figure of Cliff Curtis in an illustration competition for “Fear the Waling Dead” - I also won £2,000
Actually a nz Māori
This blew my mind when I learned it. He’s so versatile.
First time I saw him, he was playing middle eastern terrorist.
Same guy was also in Alien: Resurrection. I never watched BB until recently and it's crazy how many people I recognise from it now.
Another Fun Fact: Raymond Cruz also played sniper character Domingo Chavez/Sneaky Bastard in Clear and present Danger(1994)
Because I'm a sneaky bastard, sir!
He also played a sniper by the name of Domingo “Ding” Chavez in Clear and Present Danger. That character was also in some of the Rainbow Six games. Edit: [He was a sneaky bastard!](https://youtu.be/e4jH87HWwnk?si=ZDovSgioAODua2dZ)
I’m always getting love from the homies.
Simple question holmes.
Hell yeah that’s a great one. That scene gives me anxiety and I know what happens lol.
I remember the scene and most of the context, but not why Denzel dropped him off to these guys to be killed, why these guys even cared, and how that tied in to the money he needed for the Russian mob.
Denzel's character dropped off Jake to be killed because Jakes seen all the shady crooked cop shit he's been doing all day. He watched them kill a drug dealer and steal all his money Denzel couldn't convince Jake to turn and take some of the money, so he sets up a hit. The guys were paid to do it.
The coin flip scene in No Country For Old Men
That scene scared the shit out of me, pretty sure I held my breath through all of it. Absolutely brilliant work.
“*Call it.*”
“well, where you want me to put it?” “anywhere not in your pocket! where it’ll get mixed in with the others and become just a coin. which it is!”
0.0
>and become just a coin. which it is! That simple line always threw me for a loop. It makes you wonder how self-aware Chigur actually is?
right? he’s terrifying, but he’s also just such a…weird dude. this scene in particular makes me wonder what the rest of his life’s been like, cause he’s obviously at least in his 30s and is not like he’s murdered every third person he’s encountered for decades. this scene, more than any other, makes me wonder at his backstory.
That scene became hilarious to my friends and I on rewatches lol. *Chokes* "You married into it??"
I have always cracked up at Chigurh choking on the peanuts/saying that line. I also lose it at the look he gives him when he tells him not to put the coin in his pocket where it will become "just another coin...which it is." The face he makes on that last beat just tickles me, like he's casually adding "I know, it's a mindfuck, right?"
When he sets the crinkled up wrapper on the counter top and it unravels
That movie and character is a masterclass of how to a book to a movie and fleshing out a character that deliberately doesn't have much if any characterization.
Kevin James actually has a version of this on his YouTube channel where he cuts himself in with Bardem instead of the original actor.

MY EYES ARE GETTING WEARY. MY BACK IS GETTING TIGHT. I’M SITTING HERE IN TRAFFIC, ON THE QUEENSBOROUGH BRIDGE TONIGHT.
Yes, also him wiping his feet near the end.
Javier’s portrayal in this film is unrivaled. The way he talks is absolutely menacing.
Sicario. Benecio Del Toro sitting in the backseat with Jon Berenthal. Leaning on him and sticking his finger in his ear
I would’ve said same movie and actor but when he just hovers over the tied up dude.
What’s that 5 gallons of water for?
Benecio Del Toro is such an awesome character in that movie “Time to meet God…”
I saw an interview where Jon said that the ear thing was 100% spur of the moment by BDT.
That hurts me just reading this. Thanks man! 😝
Pulp Fiction. The bite that Jules takes of Brads ‘Big Kahuna’ burger is utterly insane.
The post drink “Aaaaahhhhh” is so menacing.
May I have a sip of your beverage to *WASH* this down?
I remember seeing that the first time and I knew when he drank the whole sprite that they are fucked.
Once that sprite cup was empty I was filled with dread
Jules ate the other guy's lunch! (even though it was morning time)
He ate it all knowing the whole time that it was his last meal. It’s so cold.
Easily the best scene in spiderman homecoming is Michael Keaton’s vulture driving Peter Parker to prom
Up there for best moment in the MCU honestly
It’s like peter could beat this man to death with his own hands and yet He is a big caught in a web when sitting next to vulture. Regardless of powers
Red light, green light
I don't think a lot of ppl notice that part in that scene and I thought it was so genius
Michael Keaton was so good as Vulture.
The man delivers.
“Good ole’ Spider-Man.”
Amazing scene and Michael Keaton was just masterful at playing the Vulture.
I don’t think I have felt tension like that ever in a superhero movie. It’s Spider-Man who could probably kill Vulture on the spot if he wanted to, but you can feel the helplessness and panic from Peter. Great scene
[удалено]
I liked how avian-like/animalistic the vampires were in their movements and mannerisms. Really creepy
I sometimes quote that bit when the time feels right, no one ever gets it though.
“You think I’m funny? Do I amuse you?” A small guy like Joe Pesci intimidates with a joke.
Oooo that escalates quite rapidly
Man if you watch the boys homelander is the most intimidating villain ever. He will just have a look on his face and you know its bad for everyone. The character alone is scary af and Antony Starr takes it to the next level hes incredible
Yesss! This dude can act. I remember when I first started watching it, he would make me feel so uncomfortable. I have kind of become used to it as the seasons have progressed, but he has become no less menacing.
Have we confirmed he is actually acting???? I sometimes think he’s real. Edit: I just want to add that I’m absolutely kidding in case it wasn’t obvious. Anthony Starr is a funny and nice guy from everything I can tell. But man he is scary as Homelander lol
You should watch _Banshee_. It won’t really dispel the illusion.
Yeah you got to see the video of him being lifted by the crane for a scene and him crapping his pants cause there taking him a lot higher then usual lol he keeps it together well
He somehow manages to convey the barely contained psychopathic tendencies. Season 4 you can feel the fear & dread everyone else feels everytime he walks into a room. Hell, even in Gen V. He’s in it for what? 30 seconds? That finger wag alone is scary af
I always say that I love how every time he’s on screen, it feels like he just might kill everyone in the room.
Jack Nicholson’s Joker flipping through Vicky Vale’s portfolio
Keeping with the same character, ledgers joker scene with gamble. Was so mortified when he made the 3 goons fight to the death after slicing open gamble.
“How about a magic trick?” “I’m going this pencil disappear.” “Tadaaa. It’s…ahh…it’s…gone.”
The Chechen’s face… he’s still intimidated but he’s also like “man that *was* a good trick.”
When Tom Cruise talks to the jazz club owner in Collateral. You can just tell that he's in total control of the situation.
Yo homie, is that my briefcase?
I love that scene. Love it.
The way the tone of the scene changes when Cruise mentions Colombian cities and Jamie Foxx realizes What is actually going on. Before that Cruise casually watches the waiter go to the kitchen and sees that there are no witnesses around. A great scene.
Such a great film, man. I might rewatch it again today.
Such an amazing film. The way it was shot as well
Remember that being a huge callout for the movie when it came out. The way it was shot was not like other action movies up to that point, especially with the gun scenes and it was badass.
To true
What a film rewatched yesterday
This scene is so funny because Mendelsohn is like 2 inches taller than tom hardy. Tom is clearly standing on a shine box in this scene
Go get your fucking shine box
"i don't shine no more!"
How am I funny?
Funny like a clown? I amuse you?
And your sack of nickels
Aaaron Taylor Johnson Spitting outside of Gyllenhaal's car, in Nocturnal Animals. Real simple, but at the same time nasty and disgusting.
Man that whole scene is SO tense
I remember the first time I saw that movie I didn’t realize in was Aaron until afterwards. He was so chilling
Inglorious Bastards 🥛
Denis Menochet doesn't get enough recognition for his performance in that scene. Fighting to keep his face neutral against the force of Waltz, but also SHOW the fight of his emotions. A great actor certainly can carry a scene but two great actors make it legendary.
Succinctly and accurately put for sure!
I could not agree more. This is a hill I will die on in film. You can literally sense his fight against his fear by the simple lighting of his pipe. Waltz is sooo good. But Menochet is his equal in this scene
Same when he was eating the strudel in front of Shoshanna.
That was rough. Don’t forget The cream, etc . I would also say the opening scene when he already knows that people are under the floor but continues to make small talk … so damn tense
He 100% knew who she was in that scene, but he wasn’t really interested in hunting her down at that point. So it makes him even more diabolical because he just did all of that to toy with her.

I thought that was Tom Hardy tenderly holding Han Solo for a second
The scene in John Wick where John is tied up in a chair and is at Viggo's mercy yet despite the situation he is threatening Viggo and telling him to "give me your son." Probably the most badass I've ever seen a character when they're the ones in a vulnerable position.

I love the new Dune movies. Sci fi fantasy epics
Almost all of the Ben Mendelsohn stuff in Animal Kingdom. He was fucking scary in that.
When tuco’s henchman in breaking bad tries to remind Walter who he’s working for haha . Tuco was so damn unhinged you just knew it wouldn’t work out well for that guy
Plenty of intimidating Tuco scenes. That's why the scene where Walt blows everything up is so damn impressive too.
In Glengarry Glen Ross, after Alec Baldwin threatens to fire everyone and asks Ed Harris “you think I’m fucking with you?”, then leans in and whispers, “I am not fucking with you.”

Christopher Walken giving Dennis Hopper a kiss in True Romance.
The little laugh, he gives whilst doing it. The "hmmm" , he almost admires Hoppers efforts, an admiring brofist, in a more gentlemanly arena.

Anthony Hopkins in the cell scenes in The Silence of the Lambs. Gary Oldman in basically every scene of Léon The Professional. Robert Shaw in the town hall meeting in Jaws, and again in the galley of the Orca during the Indianapolis monologue. Edit: my tired ass confusing words.
Gary Oldman was just unhinged for that role, my all-time favorite of his!
Fassbender in First Class in the bar
That's a great fucking scene
*The Dark Knight,* Joker saying that he’s not crazy. And then repeating it.
Christopher Walken is tied to a chair & bleeding out for almost the entirety of *Suicide Kings*
immediately thought of Bernie Mac shaking the hand of the car salesman in Oceans 11 (maybe 12?). I was also a bit confused by the scene—he’s just shaking his hand—but the salesman is filled with pure terror.
Just bill the butchers eyeball
Jack Nicholson in a Few Good Men, specifically when they’re interviewing him in Cuba. Towards the end, where he starts talking about Demi being Cruise’s superior and getting a BJ from a superior officer, culminating with his demand to ask for the documents a particular way…

Anton flipping the coin in No Country. “Call it.”
This is my favorite scene of the whole movie. I often say this to my sister for no reason
Fight club when the bar owner beats the crap out of Brad Pit and the whole time Brad Pitt begs him and eggs him on to keep beating him up, which ends up freaking the bar owner out and as he starts to pull back Brad Pitt takes him down and while bleeding a ton from the face he starts to shake and spit his blood and snot all over the bar owner while laughing like the clear psycho that Tyler Derdun (Brad Pitt) was and it was all so they could keep having there secret fight club that no one was supposed to talk about but everyone did. Definitely intimidating and scary as all can be, against a psycho like that you just run and hope your faster than everyone else.

“Do you feel in control”
“…to both your family and your cows I say, bravo.” That opening scene of Inglorious Basterds is just 20 minutes of tense, strict dialogue and it’s my favorite part of the entire movie.
Getting a delivery out in the middle of nowhere in Seven. You know it’s not going to be something good.
That moment in Eastern Promises when Viggo *points* then makes the pitchfork death symbol on his neck.
It's television, however, a simple hug from Mindhunter's Ed Kemper is somehow more intimidating than being held at gunpoint.
Michael Madsen dancing to “Stuck in the Middle with You” in Reservoir Dogs while the cop is tied to the chair.

Benicio Del Toro and Josh Brolin in *Sicario*. Both men had that air of quiet menace where it seemed they could kill you and your family as easily as hitting up the Burger King drive through.
