Love this car chase. McQuarrie is an underrated action director, kind of old school. Which is a good thing. It's a great to see a modern movie where the car chase seems to have been thought through on a shot by shot basis, and not just cobbled together in the editing room from a random mess of cuts. It's always clear where everything is in relation to the world around it, making the action easy to follow, but no less thrilling because of it. Knuckleheads like Olivier Megaton could learn a thing or two about directing from this scene.
