...smart contrast to the manic Travolta, who's channeling his strutting killer from Face/Off (an annoying switch from Shaw's steely British mercenary). Tony Scott, who did Top Gun and the earlier Washington movies Crimson Tide, Déjà Vu and Man on Fire, directs with his trademark gusto and a surfeit of many circling camera movements. A congestion of cars, arranged as carefully as clusters of Rockettes, isn't traffic; it's just the backdrop for a spectacular crash...
Eliot: Although its game of Assassins wrapped during reading period, one Eliot contestant deserves a special mention for creativity, creepiness, and gusto for the fine art of the kill...

And while this errant diversity could otherwise be more than a little off-putting, Chester French pulls it off (though not without a few stumbles) with a gusto that’s sure to recall a Beatles album or two for the historically-minded listener. The eclectic composition of “Love the Future” is both its boon and its bane. It reveals Chester French as more than just mass produced musicians, but occasionally this...
