This mysteriously misbegotten flick should be a gritty 10-hour miniseries so it would have time to explore its ideas and potentially fascinating characters. I’m “biast” (pro): love Michael Mann and Chris Hemsworth

I’m “biast” (con): nothing

(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)

I usually love Michael Mann’s movies. They tend to feel like they were made by a grownup for a grownup audience: they’re usually pretty nuanced about people’s motives, for instance — there’s little room for black-and-white in Mann’s films — and they don’t trade in the usual Hollywood clichés about anything, even when they fall solidly into a particular genre. They tend to look like no one else’s movies in a way that I have yet to be able to pinpoint how, except that they are smooth and cool without fetishizing the visuals or being self-consciously showy.
