The A To Z Of Michael Mann Public Enemies sees the return of Michael Mann with a typically stylish and finely-detailed gangster epic . To mark its release we've embarked an alphabetic jaunt through the tropes and traits that make him one of cinema's true auteurs. Welcome to Mikepedia.
Mann picks tough actors to play his brooding protagonists and then, just to make sure, beats the hell out of them. For Thief, he made James Caan learn to operate the 8000° Fahrenheit burning bar his character would use to bust open safes, while Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell spent several months undercover with Florida SWAT teams to prepare for Miama Vice. Most arduous of all though was Daniel Day-Lewis’ prep for Mohicans, which constituted six months of bodybuilding and weapons training. When Day-Lewis got back, Mann promptly dispatched him into the nearest wilderness with strict instructions to eat only watch he could catch. Even for a Method actor, two weeks of racoon tartare was a heavy price to pay for the role of Hawkeye.

Not a big fan of the Mann, whilst Heat, Collateral, The Insider & Manhunter are all great, Ali, Miami Vice (whichis a terrible, terrible movie) and Public Enemies really aren't all that, they are slow, dull and unfufilling. All well made, but just not all that great. Read More
