“I take the fact that films cost a lot of money very seriously, but once in a while to have somebody say, This is a big scene, take your time with it, is important. That's John Sayles.” ImportantFactsBigsFilmSceneCostLots Of MoneyTake Your Time Author:Mary Steenburgen
“Hollywood seems to succumb to fads. Well, action films do well. Give me violence. Give me a scene where there's a couple of car chases or shooting and stuff like that. They're forgetting the fact that there's a basic structure to a story that is essential to making it really broad and appealing.” GivingWellsFactsStoriesSeemsActionFilmStuffForgetViolenceCarCoupleSceneEssentialsHollywoodGive MeStructureShootingBroadsFadsAction Films Author:Clint Eastwood
“Aside from a couple of signature flourishes, there's nothing to mark Paycheck as the product of acclaimed action director John Woo. In fact, there's little about this movie that makes it worth anyone's time and money. With a script that waffles between being hilariously absurd and insultingly stupid, and action scenes that won't cause anyone's pulse to skip a beat, Paycheck is less appealing than a lump of coal in a Christmas stocking.” LittlesFactsActionCausesStupidProductsCoupleSceneDirectorsBeatsMarkScriptsAbsurdCoalPulseSignaturesSkipLumpsPaychecksTime And MoneyStockingsWaffles Author:James Berardinelli
