The part that makes this great is when they are both about to get off the elevator. The look they give each other. Right then you know, he isn't just some nice guy on the elevator.
I remember the first time I saw this. This scene was so intense. When you first see him, you don't know for sure if Max Von Sydow is just a man on the elevator or an assassin.
I have to say that Max terrifies me in this movie. He is not a goon or a thug. He is a "Swiss Watch" of a hitman. Precise and focused. If he is on your case he is going to get you. This is a brilliant scene and extremely uncomfortable to watch.
What's so interesting about this scene is how it holds up on it's own. People who've never seen the movie can still be unnerved by it. A great clip from a great film.
Everytime I get on the elevator with the Bossman, this is exactly the way I feel, like Turner, so awkward that it's painful, and he would proceed to ruin my day
2:04 is priceless!!
In one look Joubert says.. I know that you know that I KNOW!!.
Both characters know exactly what is going on.
The subtext. "I am coming for you"

It's quick thinking on the part of Turner
