Film Now I’m On a Michael Mann Kick.

Christ this movie’s amazing. 1995.

I've always been put off by Mann's dialogue. I think he tries to go for that stylized, neo-hard-boiled tough-guy thing, a la David Mamet or David Milch, but he never quite pulls it off. I just keep thinking "No one talks like that!"

That is one of the best movies ever. I skipped school to go see it three times (okay, that's nerdy) This makes me want to go rent it tonight!

Erik -- I agree: great film. This is one of the best Mann films, if not The Best. But, I wonder, is it the acting that makes the film and (perhaps) saves the story?

p.s. don't forget your commas. Christ. Comma. This is a good film.

Have you seen Mann's commercial for Nike?

The shoot-out outside of the bank kicks so much fucking ass it almost makes me want to buy an assault rifle and rob a bank...

on second thought, no it doesn't (forgot about what happens to Pitt).
