Wost movie I've ever seen in the theater.

Rating: Null/10 (12 October 2004)

I don't care how nice the cinematography of this movie was, it was the most unbelievable plot line I can remember in any movie I've ever scene in a theater. You can put crap in a gold box, but at the end of the day you still have crap in a gold box. Absolutely predictable and lame plot lines. Don't waste your time or listen to the other misguided souls singing this films praises. Don't even rent this movie. Watch Heat instead if you like Michael Mann, Heat isn't great either IMO, but it's 100 times better than this movie.
I just can't say anything good about this movie, except that Jamie Foxx wasn't too bad in his role, though it was a terrible role for anyone to have to play. Look at the other reviews, it says a lot about a movie's plot, when 98% of the reviews mention the way Mann directed the movie and chose to shoot L.A. and even most of those folks said the last 20 minutes were utterly predictable, that's being kind. The first 20 minutes were great for me, then after that it was all downhill. But there is some nice Miles Davis trivia in there for you music lovers like myself, still not worth the viewing.
