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 a director who's interested in the ins and outs of the human psyche; so much so that he sends off character backgrounds to psychologists while he's writing screenplays, to make sure that no actions are psychologically suspect. For all that, though, and for all that his movies are explorations of a world defined by shades of grey, his villains, his true villains are nasty pieces of work, black hat-wearing scumbags, rotten to the core. Neil McCauley and Tom Cruise's Vincent kill innocent people, commit horrible crimes and aren’t nice, by any stretch of the imagination. But they're not evil. On the other hand, Heat's Waingro, the child-killing double-crosser, is evil. Wes Studi's Magua is evil. Miami Vice's John Ortiz is evil. The Tooth Fairy may have a stab at normality, but he’d rather have a stab at entire families; evil. And they all have one thing in common – they all get what's coming to them, in spades, as Mann reveals an old-fashioned morality at work.

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
