Lies. Tony > Ridley.

Also, I forgot to mention, for the OP, if you like The Raid have a look out on Netflix for Headshot, another Iko Uwais starrer. It's not quite as good as the Raid action-wise and the plot is a bit cheesy (saved by the lead actress clearly being fully aware of this early on) but it's nonetheless pretty savage and has an excellent OTT villain.

I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you.

99% may be an exaggeration, but Domino sucked so much it pulled all of his middling movies into ass territory. I will ignore the "Tony > Ridley" thing as that's not what this thread is about and it may destroy it.

Here's a gem: The Station Agent. Peter Dinklage, Michelle Williams, Bobby Cannavale, and Patricia Clarkson doing great, charming character work with each other.

They came with white hands and left with red hands.

And Tony Scott (whose movies sucked ass 99% of the time) really benefited from having a great screenplay, and it was his best movie for sure.

TOP GUN and DAYS OF THUNDER want a word...

Also, Scott’s filmography is full of hits more than misses man...

Isn't Days of Thunder just Top Gun on the ground without any of the fun?

100% agreed on The Station Agent. Thoroughly enjoyable, charming film.
