I recently read in a newspaper that a known French director has seen that on IMDb this movie has received 5,4 and Fast and Furious 7,7.
Just for that, guys, just for that, I gotta give the movie a 10. No, really, I mean, maybe some people won't be interested in this movie. But at least reward the quality, man! Have you seen the light and the framing of that director? Come on man, that man knows how to use a cam.
So, it is a bit chocking indeed that he gets almost just the minimum half of ten! What the French director was saying about that is that all over the world cinema is becoming childish. Of course, since movies are made to be sure to hit the box-office. And I am the first one to be sorry about that, but the majority of human beings want to be brainwashed and have dull cinema. So it's those ones who are the box-office.
Michael Mann doesn't hesitate in pulling complexity. Can you imagine what it takes to do the shots of the nuclear systems, and to work with different countries, and to keep complexity in the details, for instance the hero has a book of Jacques Derrida in his cell? Where do you still see such a vivid complexity? Do you remember what you've seen on the tables of the last ten movies you've seen? Actually, usually, in most recent movies, there are unidentified things, average, anonymous, not at all like in real life which is full of very personal details... So, really, this movie may not be everyone's cup of tea, but at least it is cinema...
Give it a chance.
Love, Leila
