"We're survivors"

They respect each other but also know they will see each other sooner than later with guns drawn. To bad Benicio couldn't have worked out a deal with Caan..... but you know, he is a bagman.

It really is just like heat. Two people sitting doing as humans, but both respecting the other. It’s like You do what you do. I do what I do. But we can be professionals and gentleman about it. Shows the humane side of it. Neither is happy about how they ended up in their respected profession and probably have a lot of regrets. But they can still sit down and have a smoke and coffee and shake one another’s hand. In a cut throat lifestyle respect and honour is everything.

This is such an underrated movie. It's full of subtext and subtleties. It never outright tells you what's going on, it just drops hints and lets you figure it out for yourself. Take the scene where they come up with the kidnapping plan. Other movies would have 1 of the characters telling the other all about their idea and how they plan on carrying it out. This one just shows them briefly exchange a knowing look while they overhear someone in the background talking about their soon-to-be target.

It's great because you can tell Sarno does genuinely see some of himself in Longbaugh - but at the same time, he's still willing to make that final offer in order to possibly trick him into an ambush. Even with all the emotion involved, Sarno remains a stone cold professional above all else. It really drives home the point that you need to be emotionally resilient as well as physically tough in order to survive in that game as long as Joe has.

It’s when he shows the picture to Del Toro that Del Toro is shook and begins to have motion while Caan aside from tucking away the wallet now is the steady one.

The film never outright says or shows that Robin is his daughter but the clues are there. He mentions how his daughter is working on something so he can retire from that life of crime. He then shows a picture of him with her but the audience doesn't see it. Then at the end when she's giving birth he walks in and she mouths "hi dad".

"I wish I could... but, ah-" "Yeah. I'm a bagman." "You are a bagman." Love the way Del Toro says this.

Excuse me for asking a question but what is a bag man?

Love this seen. I think the money that Sarno offered Longbough would have been Robin his daughters cut for carrying the baby. Sarno would have gladly given them the money to make sure his daughter wasn't harmed and that his boss wouldn't have had to pay the kidnappers anything. That is my take on the seen maybe I am wrong but I think that is why a million was offered.

I bet the movie was originally called bagman

James is an icon

I'll remember your essence.

I'm trying to understand the point being made in the use of the word 'adjudicate'. The bag man uses the word 'adjudication' unironically and with emphasis in an earlier scene as he is talking to the two bodyguards at the police station and explaining what it is he does for his/their employer, "the fine art of adjudication". Then in this clip the same guy -- the bag man -- seems to claim that use of the word 'adjudicate' is something lazy or unserious cops do. Moreover when he uses the word in this clip, Del Toro pauses and leans in and says 'adjudicate?' as a question, really calling attention to the word again. It's as if the director really wanted to emphasize the word 'adjudicate' which makes me think it's somehow thematic, but honestly I don't see how. What does all this mean? Are they just giving us some character development, showing us that the bag man used to be a cop instead of telling us? Or is there more to it? EDIT: Earlier scene here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pYuJ0tmaZLetdqw.html
