In anticipation of The Taking of Pelham 123 I am familiarizing myself more with the films of Tony Scott.
The first half of this movie is fairly fun. When Redford takes Pitt to spy school there are some nice montages. But Scott can’t keep his mind straight as far as shooting styles. Mixed stocks, crazy unmotivated crane shots, ticking clock blasting in your face. It isn’t all that subtle.
Looks great on Blu-ray, though.
