Dont see this movie mentioned alot. I watched again this week and was reminded it was very solid. Superb gun handling and accurate firefights. Sound editing for gunfights is awesome.
Some complained of the "grain" in the picture during some scenes. This was due to Mann using HD cameras and opening up the lens to use as much natural light as possible. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1152836/ one of several bank robbery scenes.

The one-handed firing of a 13 pound chunk of steel is especially realistic.

Michael Mann makes great movies. Manhunter is the 80's bees knees. Then there's Heat. God Bless Heat.

pretty decent movie. I like how Hollywood always try's to paint a love story with these criminal assholes but the law always finds them hiding out at whore houses.

Don Frye from the early UFC was in it. When you see Frye around other fighters, he looks like a normal size person. When you see him among real normal size people, then you realize how big he and some of those other guys are. He definitely had the hard looks for the role. |

Some of the scenes were filmed in my hometown. Oshkosh, WI.
My second cousin met Johnny Depp a couple of times during the filming. He said he was a really nice guy. I liked the movie. I did not see it until years after if had been released. |

The book by Burroughs is much better. Mann fell into the Hollywood trap of presenting the story as Purvis vs Dillinger. In real life, Purvis was borderline incompetent. Sam Cowley and the gun fighters (TX and OK lawmen brought in to assist the green Chicago FBI office) are the ones who really handled the gangsters. The story of the running gunfight and car chase in which both Cowley and Babyface Nelson were killed is unbelievable, but true. Totally cut out of story in the movie.
Worth a read. |

More to do with these early cinema HD cams having smaller 2/3" sensor chips. The smaller the sensors, the more they tend to show image noise in low light.' These cameras were also used to shoot Avatar. |

I found the movie kinda lacking, too much side story and character building than actually doing bad guy stuff.
it had a few good moments. |
