Such a disappointment from Mann

Rating: 4/10 (5 August 2009)

Other reviewers have expressed their disappointment much better than I could hope to.
As a fan of Michael Mann, I guess I had high expectations.
Most of my complaints center around the quality of the sound (muffled, distant main character voices), cinematography (what's with the Blair Witch docu-style?), and visual production quality. Some shots actually looked like they had were accidentally inserted from the cutting room floor.
Then there's the storyline - the lack of flow, build-up and tension, both the predictability and sheer random nature of the editing and story sequence left me feeling sleepy.
I was ready to get up and leave about 90 minutes in because my interest was lost, and the made-for-TV feel only held me for the first 30 minutes.
