Here's Episode #1 in my series on movie cliches. This one is on "The Talking Killer." Have you ever seen a movie where the villian has every advantage and should, in fact, just finish off the hero? Yet he doesn't, for no good reason. We'll discuss why this cliche signals poor thinking and writing. Movies used in this video include: "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," "Return of the Jedi," "Die Hard," and "Live Free or Die Hard." See joshmatthews.org for more great movie criticism.
