The whole of idea of the "EXTREME" style was a common enough thing attempted in the 90's yet Bigelow puts most other attempts at that to shame. Now one reason being that she does it a whole lot better whether it be the terrific handheld work in the foot chase, the intensity of every shootout, and how well she captures that kinetic energy needed for the story. What really makes it stand out, other than the daring such as showing Swayze literally fall out of a plane so viscerally, but she does know to bring some quiet moments in there such as the ring moment during the first sky diving sequence.

Love hin in the former, and though he's technically pretty bad in both, he's strangely endearing in his badness.<br /><br />Swayze is very good here though my favourite thing about the film is how it was referenced in Hot Fuzz.Calvin Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11392068349392739631noreply@blogger.com
