Kevin Gage

Rating: 9/10 (24 June 2000)

I found this film to be among one of the most technically brilliant that I've ever viewed however I did feel that it lacked emotional resonance. I find that that to be a problem with a lot of Mann's work. It was the same with The Insider and Last Of The Mohicans.
One thing that was flawless is the performance of Kevin Gage. He picked up his role amazingly and possessed tremendous presence. I believe that, given the right opportunities, he will become one of the great actors of the 21st century. The overall casting of this film was incredible, probably the best I've ever seen, but Kevin Gage stole the show from everybody else in the film.
i recommend this film for buffs and people interested specifically in the technical aspects of filmmaking but those whose tastes run more towards the mainstream will likely find it boring and tenuous.
