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 is dedicated to authenticity. In fact, he may be the first ever Method director – when he insisted that Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx make smuggling runs as preparation for Miami Vice, he was right there in the boat with them, evading customs and PC Plod. Even in his more fanciful movies, realism is the key. Nothing seems out of place – Public Enemies shot in some of the key locations of John Dillinger’s life, including the jail and courthouse in Crown Point; Ali involved shedloads of interviews with and participation from those involved. The dedication to detail is meticulous and impressive, and that comes from Mann’s first film, the TV movie The Jericho Mile (pictured), for which he spent an inordinate amount of time in Folsom State Prison, with the lifers. After exposure to something like that so early on, small wonder that his films don’t exactly border on the frivolous.

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
