Your favorite cool little details.


Examples:

The way Michael Cheritto fixing his hair before leaving bank in the last heist - to just try to look normal for the short walk to the getaway car

When they're staking out the jewelry heist and the SWAT guy knocks his rifle against the trailer and Neil hears it. You can see him on the infrared camera, there's this staredown between him and Hanna. It's so tense. It's like Neil is staring through all the concrete and steel right through to Hanna.

I agree, I always felt the same!

The homeless dude’s TV set.

That fricken tow truck.

The silence the split second before they blow the door on the armored truck and blow out windows in every direction.

Tone Loc

The guy in the wheel chair with all the microwave antennas who just grabs information out of the air.

The sociable grin that Sizemore grants in the bank, a beat before attacking the security guard.

Hanna is upset when he comes home, & finds his wife Justine getting herself dolled up, about to go out on a date with someone else.

So what does he do?

He turns on the sink, to do the dishes... then thinks, fuck that, and goes out on a date himself... with his obsession... Neil. A nice coffee date.
