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.
As romantic as Mann’s movies can get, there’s a lingering sense that he’s more interested in his bromances. Heat’s Hanna and McCauley springs to mind – from the minute Hanna becomes aware of McCauley, he talks about him like an art critic would a fine painting, while their legendary coffee-shop chat reveals two guys who, in another life, would have been fast friends. Or there’s Tom Cruise cajoling Jamie Foxx to be the best he can be in Collateral, while Crockett and Tubbs’ relationship is already so tight when we meet them in the Miami Vice movie that Mann takes it for granted. Curiously, bromances are a relatively late development for Mann. Thief, Manhunter and Last Of The Mohicans were all about solitary heroes/anti-heroes. Why this changed, we don’t know, but he’s high on our list to remake Withnail & I, should that ever come to pass.

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
