![]() ![]() Crimson Tide and Man On Fire were two extremely extraordinary action films. ![]() Every time Tony Scott works with Denzel Washington it seems like a winner. He uses lots of close-ups, which make the movie really tense because we are always staring right into the eyes of the characters. Deja Vu does have that same style but there is so much less of it, very similar to the way Spy Game was shot. Man On Fire used this style to perfection while Domino was just a way for him to show it off some more. Scott's last two films (3 including Beat The Devil) relied heavily on his highly stylized exposures and quick paced editing. ![]() ![]() The scenes where the group of people are searching back in time to focus on certain locations for clues reminds me of the camera work that Scott used in Enemy Of The State. Tony Scott made this film his own and kept things really tight and focused. The script was written by first time screenwriter Bill Marsilii and Terry Rossio who has gained fame for co-writing the Pirates Of The Caribbean films. If you can suspend your belief for 2 hours then this film is simply great action entertainment. Doug Carlin decides to use the machine to throw himself back in time to prevent the act thus saving the lives of hundreds of people. The terrorists is played superbly by Jim Caviezal and the young woman is played by Paula Patton. Carlin tries to map out the terrorist's location by studying a young woman's accidental involvement. An agent played by Val Kilmer offers Carlin the opportunity to solve the case by using a technology that is able to see any event 4 days in the past, a wormhole if you will. ATF Agent Doug Carlin (Denzel Washington) is assigned with the case of solving the crime and motive for destroying the ferry. Essentially a terrorist blows up a ferry filled with navy soldiers on leave in New Orleans. The plot is a bit over the top, but it's not so preposterous that you won't be able to enjoy the film. So I was in the mood for a good Scott film, thankfully Deja Vu is a sharp thriller that bleeds Tony Scott's ultra visual style. Then Ridley's movie came out and flopped hard. I was really looking forward to Deja Vu after I saw the travesty that was Domino. Providing it doesn’t have some other function that’s integral to the continual existence of space-time.Tony Scott is one of my favorite directors and it's too bad he has had some ups and downs recently. Now if it were to be destroyed in the future, or moments after it was created, then the only thing that ceases to exist is the equation. Of course, the destruction of the equation in the past could mean that absolutely everything would blink out of existence in order to correct the wound that has been created. For you and I, theoretically, all it would look like is that the ones who brought it back with them would blink or fade out of existence. To destroy it would negate the existence of anyone and everything that would happen prior to its creation. Being with I’m would have definitely been counter to that.Īnd you can’t destroy the equation because that would be a paradox. He knew all she wanted to was to be with her kid and to h have a simple life. He can’t be with her just for the simple answer that being with her would put her and the child in too much danger. (So if you want to think of him as the founder, it’s an easy assumption to make.) While I don’t think he is the original founder of the organization, he is definitely an integral member. I try and use that line whenever I can.īut fair enough. ![]()
