I was thinking the other day that these movies and others like them (e.g., Matrix) are really about the tension between power and time. At some level, power=preparedness. But being prepared takes a lot of time. There is great frustration and impatience caused by that simple fact. In all three of the movies surveyed in the article, the main character traverses the span between ordinary existence and extraordinary power in a relative blink of an eye, with only a minor nod to the work it takes to make such a jump. So these are speed movies, it seems to me.
