Revenge

Part of my effort to see all of Tony Scott. From the beginning, we're skeptical since one of the selling points is that it was "filmed on location in Mexico." This, like "Top Gun," starts with jets. But then it goes into new territory, with a love triangle of Mexicans played by Anthony Quinn and an eventually Joker-grinned Madeleine Stowe, with American Kevin Costner caught in the middle. There's a nice performance by Miguel Ferrer, voice of the Heretic Leader in "Halo 2" and co-star of "Robocop." And Quinn plays a convincing Mexican. The last shot is impressive, a hilltop convent with the shadow of a huge mountain in the background. It makes you want to reread "Under the Volcano" for some reason.
