Kool look and style, a diff action flick

Rating: Null/10 (8 February 2005)

I like Tony Scott's shooting and editing style. The man has balls as big as space. Denzel W. is awesome again in the role as is Dakota F. and Christopher Walken. Mickey Rourke is underutilized, which is a shame 'cause he's a great actor. The cinematography work is very cool and so is the editing and to me doesn't distract from the story but adds to it if one considers the craziness and danger of Mexico City which is where the story takes place. To some the fast cutting might be a little distracting, but I enjoyed it. It's different and that's what I enjoyed about it, not your film-school style or slick Hollywwod style movie presentation. If anything my only comment is it could have been a little shorter, but that is a minor thing as the film is thoroughly enjoyable and doesn't really "drag."
