I remember leaving the theater thinking "I can't figure out if that was any good or not." You seem to have a particular opinion on it, so do share!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15188343023470044909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244179965818646686.post-34205221759029466522009-07-13T04:45:48.350-04:002009-07-13T04:45:48.350-04:00So basically you're saying Mann's acclaim ...So basically you're saying Mann's acclaim suffers from unsuitable marketing???<br />Just kidding :D<br />Well, sort of. The Trailer for Public Enemies did give a hint of a faster, one-liner type action movie. Similar goes for Collateral. And I think Miami Vice should’ve never been tied to the show. It had really very little to do with it, and given that the longer version of the show was what people were expecting (and this also hadn’t been disputed by the trailer) most were inevitably disappointed. <br /><br />That being said, I have to say that Mann is one of my favourite directors. Actually The Last of the Mohicans would be in my TOP 10 list (if I ever bothered to make one)<br />But the one thing you forgot to mention about his movies is THE MUSIC. It is such a vital part of his movies. The Last of the Mohicans and Collateral, especially IMO. I do love the visual style, the wonderful narrative and the magnificent characters but it’s the soundtrack that always floors me in the end.

The story was told much more clearly in the previews, which made me want to see it, but I think the actual telling of the story in this movie was muddled. <br />I maintain that shoot out scene in the woods went on entirely too long, the point of which didn't become clear until Dillinger goes into the police office (a great scene, and probably one that developed his character more than any other one.)Not to mention the boom-enhanced headache.<br />However, I can't comment on the director. First of all, I don't care. I'm one of those people you're constantly trying to convert. Second, I never saw another Michael Mann movie. I know you'll loan them, however I am so far behind on my media. I think I have some reading to do. Then six feet under.Sarah Hillhttp://www.cnn.comnoreply@blogger.com
