How to Blow Up a Pipeline

★★★★½ Liked Watched

the ocean’s eleven influence is there but goldhaber citing a man escaped as an inspiration is the more palpable reference. there’s the way it uses its own title to build tension, sure, but i walked away more impressed by the bressonian influence in not having one misstep in the edit and the cinematography being so simple and intentional that it makes it look easy. somehow minimalist and extreme at the same time. just lights a fire under your ass by the end…
