And the swirl of it all. Not the story-not the acting.

He was boring, unlike Bonnie and Clyde who were endlessly fascinating to me.Sandra Scoppettonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00149336752789641751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-30245187071376797202009-07-05T12:04:30.002-04:002009-07-05T12:04:30.002-04:00Mann is always more about style than substance.

Two hours of impressionism can be numbing. I loved the Milius 'Dillinger' and I think Mann is really good but overrated. However, Depp is so good in Ed Wood and Donny Brasco that I think it's well worth a shot.Paul D Brazillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12881642426845398389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-32298998426260204212009-07-04T21:23:39.087-04:002009-07-04T21:23:39.087-04:00Full of pizazz, and I agree about Depp although I ...Full of pizazz, and I agree about Depp although I was not a big fan of PIRATES.pattinase (abbott)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02916037185235335846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-17697064703229864822009-07-04T20:40:39.393-04:002009-07-04T20:40:39.393-04:00Michael Mann is the director so you have to expect...Michael Mann is the director so you have to expect plenty of visual pizazz.
