I think there have been wars that were shorter and used less ordinance.
One of the most over the top film scenes ever.

Laugh if you will but Michael Mann's style has always been orchestra rather than acoustic.
It isn't very personal but when it works (like in a couple of my favorite movies Last of the Mohicans and The Jericho Mile),it can be very emotional (and entertaining) none the less.

No argument here.

I think the most visceral gunfight in recent movies is in Children of Men when the army moves into the Bexhill refugee camp.
The street battles in Blood Diamond were effective as well.

Mann's work is too stylized for me.

Great to see Them Together Again. I would recommend seeing this movie.

I thought it was a good movie not great but they are getting old...lol

I liked the twist of the movie

Terrible movie, I think I fell asleep on purpose .

ksamls,a x

OK but they under-utilized Deniro and Pacino horribly.

notfor me :/

I have no clue what i would use both those actors for in one movie.
hmm,
Maybe as side role, as waiters or something.
or use the jcvd method, self reflective (but not together or why not) documentary style.
They are so overcharged with references it is difficult to use them.

verry good movie indeed
