Mann's films often leave me cold. The only ones I really love are
Manhunter and
Public Enemies. Although,
Collateral came close to that. I haven't seen Miami Vice yet and people complain about that film for the same reasons they complain about Public Enemies, so I might actually like it. Mann works best for me when he's very minimal in style, tells the story mainly through visuals and lets the atmosphere do the thing. The less talking in his films the better they are.
