this have to be some of the bad direction i have see . the close up can be a very powerful shot and but when every scene consist of nothing but close ups and it lose all it impact . tony scott have some very beautiful scenery to work with and the backdrop of mexico and the cantinas and the beautiful estate where anthony quinn life and and the dusty town costner roll through on his journey for revenge . unfortunately we only catch quick glimpse of these place before the camera cut to a picture of a big and giant head . even the transition scene where costner be drive alone across mexico quickly cut to a close up . the score be over dramatic and intrusive and dictate every emotion we should feel . the story itself should have be handle much well . among other thing and too many people pop up out of nowhere to help costner along it just bad write . it a typical thriller storyline and but many others have take the same premise and do outstanding thing with it . costner no way out have a somewhat similar storyline and but it be a much good movie . the end be completely anticlimactic and suffer from the most melodramatic scoring of the film . this movie be never go to be great and but if we saw more of mexico and less of giant head this film might have be watchable .
