I have been dying to see this film, for I am a huge fan of Mann's work. I have been so excited, in fact, that I have done nothing but build it up in my mind. I'm glad to know that it might not be brilliant. It makes it easier to enjoy, going in with a theoretical grain of salt.Devin Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03294863517903467515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-71619635655380636702009-06-18T18:52:42.786-04:002009-06-18T18:52:42.786-04:00OT:

You have a well respected director, a good cast, and material that seems to play to all of their strengths. People imagine in their heads the movie they want/expect to see, and then the movie ends up being something else. This seems to be especially likely to be the case with a Michael Mann film. He's still making identifiably "Michael Mann" films, but people who go in expecting something along the lines of Thief, Heat, or even The Insider are bound to be disappointed. It's interesting, though, because I think he's canny enough to use the allure of potential Oscar nominations to justify to the studios his huge budgets and absolute creative control. He helps create the expectation that he's going to deliver a certain type of movie, and then goes off and does whatever the hell he wants.<br /><br />Anyway, I may end up agreeing with everything txt critic says, but this review strikes me as reviewing what you want a movie to be rather than what it is. What it is may still be bad, but reading it I kept thinking, "who says that's what Mann was going for at all?"<br /><br />Sorry, I'm kind of rambling on...Floshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-74068584009652422342009-06-18T16:53:00.248-04:002009-06-18T16:53:00.248-04:00I agree totallyI agree totallyadelutzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01500491363721543846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-91114381608784342802009-06-18T16:44:05.362-04:002009-06-18T16:44:05.362-04:00*why not me?**why not me?*Bernardonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-28240378248292489842009-06-18T16:42:14.089-04:002009-06-18T16:42:14.089-04:00adelutza, but Angelina was in a Clint E. movie and...adelutza, but Angelina was in a Clint E. movie and there's no one that the Academy loves more than him.But Depp is also very beloved by the Academy and he thought: if Kate Winslet can appear in Vanity Fair cover and win the Oscar, why not be?Bernardonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-32778618913791752552009-06-18T16:33:11.768-04:002009-06-18T16:33:11.768-04:00And by the way, his Vanity Fair cover is no coinci...<i>And by the way, his Vanity Fair cover is no coincidence.</i><br /><br />That's what I thought too.<br /><br />We'll see what happens as the year goes on and how everyone's performance stacks up against the others.
