I propose a new official movie cliche... (spoilers)


Okay, let me state up front that I enjoyed this movie. And I'm a guy. An old guy.

That said, this movie features a scene that is becoming so common in movies that it should be nominated for official cliche status.

It's the scene where a character is standing in the street... or wanders into the street... and is promptly killed by a bus, or a truck. It's never a car... always a bus or truck that mows them down.

Furthermore, the vehicle is always going so fast that it's literally a blur. And, there's never any sound of brakes being applied, no matter if the character has been standing in the middle of the street in broad daylight for longs seconds.

Where are these transit and transportation drivers hired from that they are so inattentive?

The movie Edge of Darkness features a woman being killed by a car.
