While most movies show characters behaving stupidly when they want to show them suffering setbacks or pulling off impractical plans to succeed, this scene shows a bunch of characters doing everything within their power after putting some thought into it to mixed results.Llewellyn considers the possibility that someone might ambush him in his room, and makes a plan to retrieve his stash from another room. Even then, he ensures he doesn't take the very adjacent room. When returning to his room, he asks the driver to drive by the rooms to check if his blinds were closed in the exact manner he left them in, taking the fact that they are not as a sign that someone was either there or had been there.Now, what does Anton do when he arrives at the motel? He takes the room adjacent to Llewellyn's, studies it and then plans his assault accordingly.Yet, both men succeed only partially- Anton does kill the mexicans and confirm he is hot on Llewellyn's tale but misses Llewellyn himself, and Llewellyn does evade Anton and run away with the money but he still doesn't figure out that the money stack has a transponder in it just giving his location away.Sure, there are still a lot of 'filmy' things going on, stuff that just would have to happen perfectly at the right time and place, but it was honestly refreshing to see this sort of an approach being taken to storytelling, which doesn't rely on cartoon universe probabilities or characters behaving in a dumb manner for things to happen. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3ghV2eH
