They may have not loved the film but they were still kind to it. In fact someone went to far to say that it might get an Oscar nod and they even raved about the performances by both Bale and Depp. I have not read the book but I have seen the film and I agree. There is something missing and even Roger Ebert ended his review by saying he is trying to understand why this is only a good movie and not a great one.

Ricky is right. You can`t accept any criticism on a movie so why are you here? Also you have no class insulting them. I would love to see you produce a film review show independently. Perhaps your better off watching trashy TV shows like Entertainment Tonight which offers no real opinions on film but is used as a marketing tool to sell the mainstream movies to idiots like yourself.

Your comment pretty much echoes my review. The film does it’s best in covering the last 13 months of his life but there is only so much you can pack into a two hour script (something I repeated on our broadcast). Regarding the HD camera work: Two of the three hosts preferred he did not use it, yet we all agreed it was beautifully shot. So it is clear you didn’t listen very well to our show. Another classic example of someone who can’t accept other people’s opinions and views on movies. So if you are not prepared to listen to other people’s opinions on film other than yours, than why do you bother listening to a film review show or reading any film review? Also to claim that someone doesn’t have the right to comment on a film because they have not read the book is rather silly of you. So I am bit confused by your rude comment.

I did mention on the show that I felt he did an excellent job in how he shot this film. I just would have proffered this look in any other Mann film but not one of a 30`s Gangster film. That is just a personal preference but I can’t deny its brilliance. I completely agree with everything you said.

The camerawork was the most engrossing part of the film in my opinion. The decision to go for a video, handheld,and grainy look makes a period piece feel documentary-like which is a remarkable achievement. It feels exactly as if someone had a camera handy at the time and we're watching amateur footage. Only it's professionally made and those sloppy zooms ins are actually meticulously planned since Michael Mann concentrates on details like you say. It wasn't the same as most films focusing on realism now like the past few palm d'or winners, it was more like TV which I found interesting. That being said, you're right that it upstages the characters. I think he was just thinking pictures. I felt the need to leave a comment arguing in favour of Michael Mann’s aesthetic choices.
