Love her.<br /><br />I thought a few of the performances here were really incredible (mostly from the supporting cast - Jason Clarke, Stephen Dorff, Stephen Lang, John Ortiz, Stephen Graham), but, at this point, I'm mostly into Mann for his technical proficiency. I love what he does with digital cinema. Shots in his films often make me literally go, "Oh, wow."<br /><br />Damn shame about his TV show, Luck. Hope he tackles another feature soon.Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-16496808360428401662013-01-12T23:39:46.926-05:002013-01-12T23:39:46.926-05:00I watched this pretty recently, as I was going thr...I watched this pretty recently, as I was going through Marion Cotillard's filmography.<br /><br />Everything about this was good (especially our sweet Marion), but I found myself not really caring. Connecting to another post that I just commented on... "based on a true story" can strip the guts out a film if you already know that story, because the suspense is limited.TheHistorianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255156966606278419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-23356654526323852392009-07-05T19:32:40.387-04:002009-07-05T19:32:40.387-04:00There's something about a real-life gangster m...There's something about a real-life gangster movie.....I usually find myself on the side of the gangster hoping that the outcome will be different than I know it's gonna be. This movie is near perfect. The scene with Dillinger (Depp)you mention in the review is certainly nomination worthy. For me it is a movie that I did not want to end. The characters, the cars, the actors, the guns, the costumes.....all of it was so well done. I will see it again......and probably again.MWnoreply@blogger.com
