He's done the aviator (Top Gun) and the race-car driver (Days of Thunder). Now Tony Scott, the new traditionalist, turns to the seedy and smart-aleck private detective. (Giving him a faithless wife and a foul-mouthed teenage daughter was a decent idea. Allowing him to incapacitate his foes with a stream of side-splitting jokes was not.) Scott's trademark blue light and speckled atmosphere somewhat kill the flavor, however; and the action is alienatingly grandiose; and the male-bonding angle (a former pro quarterback with his jersey number barbered onto the back of his head) is simply alien. Bruce Willis, Damon Wayans. (1991) — Duncan Shepherd
