John McTiernan

“To find a script that works with provocative ideas is hard to find.”

“The entertainment is in the presentation.”

“In a thriller, the camera's an active narrator, or can be.”

“You see a lot of good ideas or well-written scripts that are bad ideas.”

“Before I did any action movies, I did a couple of thrillers. That's hung around for me.”

“Thrillers are an enormous amount of fun for filmmakers.”
