Re: Public Enemies
Yeah "Heat" is on my top 50 for sure...
Also, have you seen "Manhunter"? Its the original Hannibal movie...its pretty good as well and lets face it "collateral" wasn't half bad at all...with Oakenfolds music blasting out the speakers in the background

Re: Public Enemies
Yeah, I kind of liked Miami Vice - more for the stunning visuals (which look incredible in HD). I also had a soft spot for the episodes the movie was based on, "Smuggler's Blues". Even below average from Mann is way more beautiful than 80% of the films out there as far as look goes.Comment

Re: Public Enemies
Watched Manhunter a long time ago but I remember it was pretty good. The crazy ass creepy tall guy who is in movies here and there helped make it a good flick.
I thought collateral wasn't bad either, that one scene where tom cruise dealt with those drug dealers was pretty hardcore.Comment

Re: Public Enemies
2.5 stars imo very
the dialogue was very quiet and no plot to speak of, quiet the yawner. Wasn't expecting much, but didn't get much either...Collateral makes this movie look like crap, if that tells you anything

Re: Public Enemies
I was kind of disappointed with Public Enemies - not with the choice of simply recounting the last 18 or so months in Dillinger's life, but more because the use of HD cameras seemed like an inappropriate format for the film to be shot in. It sometimes feels like you're watching the action through a CCTV security camera, and there's no real context to who a lot of the people are that are coming and going throughout the film.
I didn't mind the lack of insight and explaining motivation for both Dillinger's and Purvis' characters, it's more a historical document than a character study. And, there are some absolutely great moments in the film itself. It's just a shame that the parts don't add up into a great movie like this should have been. It's a bit of a disappointing film coming from Michael Mann.Comment

Re: Public Enemies
great insight, thanks, you're comment sums it up well...I think Mann took what worked in Heat and tried to apply the same formula to PE, and it just did not work. I was lost from the beginning as the criminals spoke under their breath to each other (as criminals would) I was left unable to hear wtf they were saying...anyone else?
About a quarter of the way in I sat there thinking, damn-it they got me...this is low-budge.
It was fun while it lasted...Comment
