I like Tony Scott's eye candy. I think he exercises what a lot of critics look down their noses at certain filmmakers for exercising, which is visual style. That is the focal point of the art of film. I just don't know how much I like this debut of his. I think he was still testing the waters when he made this.
I like the idea of slowly and quietly building to a climax of madness, but he doesn't quite keep me riveted. I think both the rising action of the film and the climax are both a little tedious and a little overworked. I like Scott's concept but his execution needed work. He worked on it, of course, and now, I think, his movies are some of the most fun you can have at the movies.
