A Great Film

Rating: 9/10 (12 March 2000)

Truly a great film. The best work Michael Mann has ever done and the finest work Al Pacino has done in a long time. Russell Crowe deserves his Best Actor nod for a restrained and understated performance. Also impeccable casting for all of the smaller roles .
The film has a consisent visual style and tells the story patiently without being indulgent. Great editing, great sound and a compelling script based on a true story.
