"Breaking News" 4/5

This was a rewatch for me and I think I enjoyed it even more the second time around. I'm a sucker for cinematic style and this film is full of it. I've mentioned it before on other forums, but the first eight minutes of this is a continuous crane shot that follows the build up to a blazing street shoot out. The timing and organisation for that sequence shows some great directorial flair. What then follows is fast and furious and perhaps a little bit predictable but this never lets up the tension. Some of the shoot outs are a little reminicent of those in "Heat", but if you are going to be influenced by anything you can't go far wrong with that one.
