Right Up there With Heat

Rating: Null/10 (10 December 2009)

This Film is tied with with Michael Mann's other greatest film titled Heat. Don't listen to any criticism about the characters being shallow or there not being enough character development throughout the story. I let all that detour me for a while but I have just recently watched this film and all I can say is WOW! Depp deserves an Oscar for his role and the Film should at least receive a nomination in the Oscars.
To answer all cries about lack of character development in the movie.
1) You cannot expect 21st Century emotions to tell a 20th Century Film. You cannot argue with the fact that things were much different back then and yes that means so were people. People did their work and sometimes that was it. Very 1 Dimensional or 2 Dimensional. But it is what it is in that time period.
2) John Dillenger even says it in the movie for me... I believe it was something along these lines "I grew up here, my father beat me when I was young, I like fast cars, good food, having fun and you. What more do you need to know"? That is exactly what Michael Mann delivers to the audience.
I am sick and tired of hearing people whine about a few things when it comes to Film. Those who complain about having to read subtitles (god forbid you have to actually read :(, and those who say "well The movie didn't tell me every detail", or "I don't get it". Are people really at the point where EVERY THING has to be spelled out for them. Maybe we should dress the good guys in white and the bad guys in black so nobody's simple mind is confused.
Anyway, This film deserves more appreciation and Mann deserves a little more respect.
SEE THIS FILM!
