Collateral Shot using DV instead of FILM

Rating: Null/10 (14 September 2004)

Not to bash this film in anyway because the story was so amazing and Tom Cruises acting was far superior as a "Bad Guy" in any other role of a crime action flick but Michael Manns and the DP's decision to shoot it in DV rather than FILM was ridiculous for the following reasons;

It was disturbing to my eyes. - Video flicker throughout the movie was distracting. - Neon signs throughout all of L.A. were "Blown Out" making them unreadible loosing the cinematic feel to the movie. - There wasn't as much focal length within the film. - 24p is a joke. - It made it look as though it where a student film.

Please folks am I going crazy throughout the whole movie all I could think about was this, it really took my focus away from the story. Whats your thought and opinions?
