i got tricked into seeing this movie, and i wanted to gouge out my eyes and stuff them in my ears so that i would no longer have to endure the horrible camera work that tony scott uses to mask the fact that he has no talent. tony scott is the ashlee simpson of film.

i'm not really sure if the rest of the movie was good, since the direction gave me a headache and i had to close my eyes through half of the movie to avoid a seizure.

if you're going to see this for keira knightly, save your 10 bucks and find a picture of her topless on the internet.

I think Knightley has the acting talent equivalent of your Tony Scott description. Have heard nothing but bad things about this.

tony scott used to be a good director. true romance and crimson tide were great. enemy of the state was pretty good. spy game was only okay, but the directing was competent. I think he got hit on the head and thinks he's a music video director for aerosmith now or something.

man on fire was an decent movie despite the shitty directing.

if you don't think true romance was a well directed piece of filmmaking then you are probably posting in the wrong forum because your taste sucks.

I didn't care for Spy Game, but Scott did a superb job in directing Tarantino's underrated True Romance screenplay.

Everything about this looked like shit.

Thanks for confirming and saving me some cash.

True Romance is like my favorite movie.

And I thought Spy Game was pretty good too.

I thought Kiera Knightley was hot as fuck... other than that the movie sucked balls.... It sucked, but somehow I enjoyed it.
