Man on Fire

The fact that the original script is there is a shocking story in itself, but this time Tony Scott's style of both real and phantom images is worth exploring. The deliberately disturbed rhythm gives the film the humid, sweltering heat of Mexico City from start to finish, with the oppression of an underground pipe. So to be honest, this version of Furious Revenge is not very "good-looking", completely different from the fast-paced, strong scene-shifting style of Tony Scott's masterpieces Red Tide Storm, Top Gun, etc., so this movie is not even as good as the spy game nice. But being able to play the MV's lens style so realistically is really unsatisfactory.
