Johnny Depp is an actor to watch certainly. I think he is very highly talented which you really would not know from watching the bad popcorn pirates trilogy, though i liked curse of the black pearl,lol.
What happened to Christian Bale? I liked him in Batman Begins but found his voice a bit grating in the dark knight and terminator salvation.
Rescue dawn was awful imho as well.
Though i liked 3:10 to Yuma. But thought it was not as good as Eastwood's unforgiven.
As directors go i find Michael Mann to be pretty good. Maybe not as good as Martin Scorcese, Brian DePalma. Francis Ford Coppola, or Ridley Scott. Still he is excellent.
I think Heat is an underated film personally. Collateral was amazing as well.
Do you think a longer cut or directors cut of Public Enemies will be released on dvd and blu ray?
How was the pacing in the film, or i should say movie since no film was used as you say.
On another subject what did you think of Tom Hanks and Road to Perdition?
Are their depth of field issues in the camera work because it was shot on video? I mean Public Enemies of course. What is your opinion as a student of film. What would you have done if you were the cinematographer ChaisawAsh?
