“The standard way to make an action movie ... was, you usually have three set pieces, One in the first act, one in the 2nd, one in the 3rd. You spend most of your money on that one in the 3rd act. That’s your finale.

And now [Netflix says], ‘Can we get a big one in the first 5 minutes? We want people to stay. And it wouldn’t be terrible if you reiterated the plot 3 or 4 times in the dialogue because people are on their phones while they’re watching.’”
