He directed one of my ALL TIME favorite movies, Manhunter.

So I will see it.

Agreed.

He's also responsible for Crime Story. So he has my eternal devotion based on that alone.

Heh, no one commented on this?

I saw it in the theatre and enjoyed it. Not likely to be a DVD purchase for me, but I thought it was a solid film and woiuld recommend it for anyone; however, if you're a big fan of movies like Heat, American Gangster, Casino, etc., you'll probably want to own this one.

I love Michael Mann's style of filmaking..so this movie was right up my alley..the attention to detail, the music, the introspective characters...and some insane gun fights...definitely a must buy for me.

I own Heat. Really like Mann's style. But I'll wait for cable on this one.

I'm hesitant to see this. Too many pretty actors portraying men that are historically ugly.

Mann's made some very good films, but why on earth did he make that awful remake of Miami Vice??

What was he thinking...?

I caught the first half hour of it. That was enough for me. Collateral was all right.

Collateral was a very good movie. Jamie Foxx was on a great roll around that time -- Collateral, Ray...and then he fouls it up by doing Miami Vice. Seemed to cool off his hot streak because you don't see him in much these days. :ohno:

Don't remember it. I don't think he's had a big hit movie in a long time.

I think Foxx plays a lawyer.

Why does that matter?
