I always wanted to check the relationship between Tony Scott and this movie, but unfortunately he did not appear on the list of producers. The director is Wayne Kramer of "Eight Sides Ambush". The technique is very similar to Tony Scott, especially "Domino", with highly saturated colors, a camera that pursues visual impact, and a messy and dynamic juggling style editing. The trick of connecting the shots with special effects is even more fancy than Tony Scott himself. Wayne Kramer may be regarded as a newcomer in the director, and feel that the traces of imitating others in his film have not completely disappeared. There was a film called "Fire Gun" in Hong Kong a few years ago, which is similar in conception to this film. Ulrich’s gangster stepfather idolizes John Wayne. It’s hard to think of the gangster who loves drama and art in Woody Allen’s "Bullets over Broadway". They all try to impress the audience with the innocence and sincerity of the gangsters. . The passage where Joey’s wife goes to the pervert’s house to rescue Ulrich is actually very good in handling the atmosphere. Unfortunately, we have seen this in Martin Scorsese’s "After get off work" and many of David Lynch’s movies. Kind of technique. Wayne Kramer still needs a lot of time to prove that he is a director with independent language ability.
Paul Walker finally played more roles this time than dogs, and he acted very hard.
It's still a movie you can watch, it's quite lively.
