    Only thing that pisses me off about Tony Scott films is that he always films them dark. He likes to remove alot of light from the film and has done this technique on all of his films:

    Last Boyscout
    Alien
    The Fan

    and I think a few others...I hate when directors do this crap and change the way a movie should be viewed. Another example of this is in "Swordfish" with John Tavolta and Halle Berry...the director put a GREEN TINT in the whole movie and it was more distracting then anything else. Also in the Mel Gibsion movie "Payback", the movie was in a BLUEISH kind of tone. Stop screwing with the picture and worry more about the content....

    My $.02
