Bravo Michael Mann

Rating: Null/10 (3 October 2004)

I really loved the emotional payoff to what was setup in an early scene ... where Vincent and Neil meet face to face - "The Discipline"; and when we get to the scene outside the hotel - with Neil and Eady, it does get pretty rousing.
The only other Michael Mann film I've seen is COLLATERAL. Just like that 2004 movie, this film has excellent location cinematography of night time in the city and the sound of gunfire just ROCKS you. A round of applause to Mann's sound guys.
You'll also find the tense moments of Hanna and his wife goading, as will you find emotive the scene when Ashley Judd signals to Val Kilmer that she is NOT alone, at one point sequentially; we see the heartwarmed look on Judd's face. She doesn't want to give up Chris no matter how much salestalk about Dominick's future the African American officer tried to persuade her with.
Wonderful to see Hanna and his wife reconciled in their last scene together in the movie, its not a lose end left untied, but its something that's given closure up until the moment Vincent takes off to hunt down Neil.
A lot of rough action scenes to make your viewing of this 2.5 hour movie worthwhile and exciting.
Now, I'm gonna try to find a copy of MANHUNTER and THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS. Michael is the Mann.
Grade A-
10/10
