daredevil
Broken Arrow↗, a bomb-ticking chase movie about a daredevil pilot (Travolta) who steals two nuclear weapons, shows how easily the two cinemas can coexist. It flies at the speed of Macho 2 while allowing Woo to unpack his full cinematic arsenal: overhead shots, plenty of steamy atmosphere (Travolta smokes a lot), Cuisinart editing of the action scenes, slow motion to prolong the jitters and, for dialogue scenes that other directors would stand flatfooted and watch, lithe little tracking shots. If film school were fun, Woo would be the nutty professor.
jitters = extreme nervousness.
lithe = gracefully slender; moving and bending with ease.
“GO WEST, HONG KONG” (1996-02-26) By Richard Corliss. Time Mag. (Source↗ 2008-12)
daredevil = a reckless impetuous irresponsible person.
