The conversation early in the film between Foxx and Pinkett mesmerized me and left me wanting more of that film, even as I continued to enjoy where Mann took things. But you're right - if the film had ended there it would have been a perfect little gem. The ending requires you to suspend your disbelief, but isn't that one of the beautiful functions of the movies?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08625185807353201371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2118574901486983093.post-31714283941292966742015-02-24T20:47:28.323-08:002015-02-24T20:47:28.323-08:00I'm very much a Mann fan, and enjoyed Collater...I'm very much a Mann fan, and enjoyed Collateral very much. I'm one of the other people who saw, and liked Black Hat. I like his shooting style, his casting choices, his pacing, his whole ouvre (that sounds really pretentious, I know). <br /><br />Mann spends so much time tuning everything to his vision, not caring what critics think, which is so cool, because it's just how I would shoot movies if I could. His isolated, technically proficient male characters (to paraphrase Hanna), speak to me. What that says about me, I'll let a shrink decide.<br /><br />If the failure of Black Hat means he'll do smaller films, I look forward to the next. Because I don't think he'll change how he makes movies just because he has less money. <br /><br />Thank you, Mr Peel for writing about him.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13329365486364249781noreply@blogger.com
