Adrian Lyne is the king of stylized dramas and this entertaining film just adds to his legacy (Fatal Attraction, Jacob's Ladder and yes, Flashdance). A former director of commercials, Lyne loves to deconstruct the character's actions into tiny close-ups that when spliced together, make them appear all the more dramatic. Simple things like cutting a tomato becomes magnified for its impact. A doorknob turning becomes a major event. He can make these tiny details appear sexy, scary, or even mysterious, but these enhancements always add to the complexity of the character's texture.
