Viewing Notes
Recommended by @bobfreelander following a discussion about Tony Scott (who I have a love/hate relationship with), it’s hard to believe I hadn’t seen this Quentin Tarantino written film before.
Like Heat, it’s amazing to see the who’s who of actors who’re in this film!
I liked it a lot, though there were scenes, especially the ending, that probably would have been better had they been directed by Tarantino himself.
The scene between Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken early in the film is brilliant. It’s also rather humorous to see a dreadlocked Gary Oldman pull off an audacious Ghetto black accent.
Though it’s not 100 percent, there’s a lot to like here and probably one of Scott’s better films. I still maintain that Man on Fire is his best film.
