Again most decidedly not a horror movie! But, this just happens to be the only Tony Scott film that I own on blu ray, and Gary Oldman is this week's "thug" on Video Detective, so it seemed fitting to throw it on...besides I spent a good deal of my life in Tallahassee...yeah, that's kinda pathetic! This is certainly an ultra violent crime film with a monster cast; not only does it obviously star Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette...and Oldman in a role that has him sporting dreadlocks and a Detroit African American accent...and a character that doesn't last all that long. It also features Sam Jackson in a role that lasts even a shorter amount of time, Brad Pitt, Val Kilmer, Christopher Walken and the late Dennis Hopper. The Blu Ray features 3 different choices for commentary, one by the later director, one by screenwriter Quentin Tarantino and one by Slater and Arquette; and there are selective scene commentaries by Val Kilmer, Brad Pitt, Dennis Hopper and Michael Rapaport (the great character actor who is also a cast member). It also features an alternative ending with or without commentary by Tony Scott and Tarantino. The original 1993 featurette is included. It also has an interactive behind the scenes featurette, an animated photo gallery (that is SOOOO Scott!) and, of course, the original theatrical trailer. So RIP Tony!
