...steamy love scene between Susan Sarandon and Catherine Deneuve. Since then, Tony Scott has audaciously continued to hijack mainstream film. Now, he is reunited with Crimson Tide costar Denzel Washington for the story of Creasy, an alcoholic former Special Forces operative recruited by his old friend Rayburn (Christopher Walken) to guard Pita (Dakota Fanning), the young daughter of Mexico City businessman Samuel (Latin heartthrob Marc Anthony).

His videos echo the anomalous juxtapositions often found in his films; in Daft Punk’s “Da Funk” he guides a six-foot speech-endowed dog through New York City, then orchestrates a meticulously choreographed aerial waltz with Christopher Walken in Fatboy Slim’s “Weapon of Choice.” Though Jonze’s collection is the most satisfying for its breadth of styles, the offerings are occasionally spotty and relatively shallow exercises...
