Authentic like "The Untouchable (1987)", exciting like "Heat (1995)"

Rating: 9/10 (12 October 2009)

Director Micheal Mann charmed the Hollywood stars and got lots of great actors & actresses in this movie. Can't say I'll blame them after phenomenal success of Heat (1985), The Insider (1999) - great directors like Mann, Oliver Stone, Martin Scorsese don't make movies very often and rightly so for the sake of good script & quality.
This movie is authentic, got lots of exciting scenes that make ur palms wet, and brought lots of hardship, desparations, spirits of the post depression period. And some underground history as well.
An unforgettable movie of recent years.
Simply outstanding!
Kudos to Christina Bale! A good actor like him deserve a project to be in the same movie like Johnny Depp, esp after the disaster T4.
