  1. Michael Mann
    American film director, screenwriter, and producer
  2. May 16, 2024 · For the past half century, Michael Mann has remained a major creative force in American cinema and an absolute stalwart of the action genre. Throughout a boundary-pushing career that has seen him transform the landscapes of both film and TV, Mann has shown a keen eye for bombastic set pieces and a consistent interest in career criminals and self-destructive male antiheroes, helming at least ...

    Yikes! Jeepers! And fully, woof! Public Enemies is likely Mann's only out-and-out dog, a morose, cold, visually ugly piece of filmmaking that seems perversely uninterested in any traditional facets of a period gangster drama, to its own severe detriment. The film tells the true story of John Dillinger (Johnny Depp), a notorious bank robber who capt...

    Do you want to know more about Muhammad Ali, the world-famous boxer and social activist? I think I would recommend that you not watch Ali as a starting point. In some ways, Michael Mann’s Ali, starring an Oscar-nominated Will Smith in the title role, plays like the famous documentary on the man When We Were Kings (a film you should watch if you wan...

    Despite Blackhat‘s reputation as a critical and financial failure, there’s a ton about the sublimely absurd, globe-trotting hacker-action-thriller that I can get down with. Mann’s eye for texture, after the mishap of Public Enemies, comes back in full force, his digital photography a perfect fit for the film's incomprehensible-on-purpose digital pl...

    Everything about this film is handsome. Its astonishing usage of color temperature and shadow (Spinotti just out here flexing), its widescreen vistas of beautiful nature corrupted by brutal battles, its utterly sweeping romance at the heart of its story, its beautifully melancholic score from Trevor Jones and Randy Edelman, and obviously, Daniel Da...

    Now we're talking. When people picture Michael Mann's cinematic aesthetics, I imagine Manhunter will be the first film at the tip of the tongue for many. Based on Thomas Harris' Red Dragon, and coming out well before Jonathan Demme's The Silence of the Lambs cemented that particular version of the Hannibal Lecter mythology (to the point where Mann ...

    And now for something completely different. If you've ever wondered what it might be like if Michael Mann decided to be John Carpenter, watch The Keep and prepare to have your friggin' face blown up. The production and eventual "final cut" of The Keep is notoriously troubled, from stories of Mann not sure what he wanted his monster to look like eve...

    Miami Vice, Mann's 2006 cinematic re-entry into the television world he originally created in the '80s, likely has the most exciting opening sequence of his entire career. It starts with the most "in media res" shot anyone has ever "in media res'd" -- a contextless, floating, handheld shot of a bunch of people partying in a loud nightclub. Suddenly...

    Mann's debut film, the 1981 crime thriller/character study Thief, is, to my estimation, one of the great feature debuts in American film history. Not just because it's a great watch -- and it really is -- but because it introduces Mann's artistic impulses, stylistic flourishes, and narrative obsessions with crystallized confidence. Thief is both th...

    Heat is very silly. But, also, it rips super hard. At a towering "just under three hours," Mann treats his fundamental, simple plot of cops v. robbers and robbers v. cops like a classical, mythic tragedy with A Ton To Say. He absolutely pulls it off. And yet... it's so silly. It's packed to the gills with "masculine prestige film" energy, performan...

    If Heat is in some ways a puppy dog let off the leash, The Insider is an older, wisened, and even cynical beast, eager to take its walk more patiently. All the better for it, too, as Mann earns every frame of this two-and-a-half hour exposé. It's the kind of tale for grown-ups that, were it made today, would be given the "six episode prestige limit...

    • Heat. 1995. While The Insider is certainly the most critically acclaimed film by Michael Mann, Heat is without a doubt the most iconic and culturally influential installment of his filmography.
    • The Insider. 1999. The Insider features stellar performances from Al Pacino, Christopher Plummer, and Russell Crowe, who arguably gives a career-best as a Big Tobacco whistleblower named Jeffrey Wigland.
    • Collateral. 2004. Collateral is a fan-favorite Michael Mann movie that is hard to peel your eyes away from once you start watching. Starring two powerhouse actors Jamie Foxx and Tom Cruise, Collateral easily has one of the best screenplays and onscreen chemistry between actors out of any other Michael Mann movie.
    • The Last Of The Mohicans. 1992. Michael Mann expanded his scope away from the crime genre into the realm of historical fiction with The Last of the Mohicans.
  4. Aug 9, 2022 · The director of Heat explores the backstory and aftermath of his 1995 crime epic in a 466-page book co-written with Meg Gardiner. The novel delves into the characters, settings, and themes of Mann's filmography, from Thief to Blackhat.
