I must admit as a Michael Mann fan, going all the way back to Thief, I was a bit underwhelmed when this movie first came out on '06. But a second and third viewing later on impresses with how Mann still has all of his talents on full display (the perfect music mix, the moody lighting, the clean and brutal fight and shoot out scenes and ,yes, a couple very hot sex scenes) OK, the dialogue and much of the setup are ridiculous. It's nowhere nearly as realistic as Thief or Heat. Still, this is very enjoyable filmmaking. Now that it's on Amazon, there's no reason not to have a fun 2:15. I'm disappointed there was no sequel.
