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 modernist, they say. And yet four of his films – The Keep, Last Of The Mohicans, Ali and now Public Enemies – have delved back into the past. The Keep, as we’ve explained, is an anomaly that barely fits in with Mann’s thematic preoccupations; but Last Of The Mohicans, Ali and Public Enemies both fit nicely into his obsession with America’s evolution, from a lawless land without boundaries, to a world in which men buck and rail against rules and regulations, in an attempt to be free. And the period detail in these films is rendered with an obsessive’s eye for detail – frankly, the great lost Mann film is his version of Steven Pressfield’s Spartan epic, Gates Of Fire. We’d have to seen Mann's take on ancient Greece – chances are you’d have been able to smell the blood.

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
