I don’t know about you, but I found the truck chase in The Dark Knight to be the film’s high-octane centerpiece. Jim Emerson was less enamored of it and made a meticulous, 20-minute critique explaining the scene’s many flaws. Namely, the chase’s disjointed characters close-ups and off-kilter editing. He does bring up a good point that the chase could’ve been way creepier if it began with the shot of the burning fire truck.
