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.
One accusation often been leveled at Mann is that his female characters are nowhere near as three-dimensional as his men. There’s an element of truth to that – a fair number of Mann heroines, from Madeleine Stowe in Last Of The Mohicans and Joan Allen in Manhunter, have ended up as damsels in distress, while Heat is populated with shrews, bitches or Amy Brenneman’s ineffectual Edie. But there’s also a romantic streak a mile wide. His heroes are often attracted to women of strength – consider Ashley Judd’s Charlene in Heat, refusing to give up her husband so that she can have an easier life, or Gong Li’s successful businesswoman in Miami Vice. Marion Cotillard’s Billie Frechette in Public Enemies completes the line-up, with a beautifully judged performance as a woman who can see the train coming, but just can’t bring herself to get off the tracks.

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
