A DVD Visual Action Masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (2 June 2000)

This movie must be viewed either in a theater or on DVD in widescreen (letter-box). It is an outstanding example of how much more of visual experience the widescreen provides. Michael Mann (director) fully uses the entire width of the screen. So much of the movie shows the skillful capturing of the scenes that represent the "art" of the professional still photographer. The drama and action of an excellent screenplay (also by Michael Mann) make for an outstanding movie.
