    One big long chase, I guess. Exciting! Stylish.

    The one Michael Mann movie I can say I love without reservation.

    I really adored this movie. Funny and sad. Feels like an artifact found in an excavation of an old, French country estate. You can feel the fingerprints of artists, artisans and storytellers all over each frame.

    Maybe it doesn't quite culminate in something greater than the sum of its parts but... the parts are all really something.

    Goodness. Somehow more potent and more relevant than any other time in history. I used to think Lee's central performance was a mistake and that a more expressive, charismatic actor would have elevated the film but on this viewing Lee's flat and impenetrable performance heightens the ambiguity and requires the audience to make up its own mind. Stylish and Brilliant.

    A delusional and embarrassing 90 minutes of indulgent navel gazing filled with discussion that never rise above an entry level undergrad seminar. At least the Brat Pack documentary had some fun nostalgia.
