Viewing Notes
I first saw this back in 2005 at Mann’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. Which is a big deal for me, since that’s the one and only time I’ve been to Hollywood. I disliked the movie then for its visual assault, shaky camera, ADD editing, etc.
I decided to give it a rewatch to see if my view had softened any.
Not much. This is style over substance, which I don’t necessarily have an issue with, but the damn movie gives me a headache watching it.
I do admire some of the film exposure and textural tricks that Scott used to get some of the colors and grain in the movie now that I didn’t then. It’s also fun to trainspot actors who you know now because of later work, that you didn’t know then.
For instance, I’d never heard of Macy Gray or Edgar Ramirez when I first saw this film. And Mickey Rourke hadn’t made his Wrester-fueled comeback either (he’s actually pretty decent in Domino, and looks much better here then he does now, his face being smoother and less pockmarked).
Still, overall, I still carry my dislike forward for this film, and most Tony Scott movies for that matter.
Oh well, I tried.
