Title: An insult to Film
Review: From the moment this movie started I knew there was something wrong. Terribly wrong. In fact I had to pause the movie and find out what the thing was. Yes. I knew it. It was filmed on video.Now that's not to say that all movies today that are shot on video are awful. Take Benjamin Button for instance. You can't even tell that it is was for the most part. However Mann did not attempt to hide the fact with this movie. The frame rates seemed to be inconsistent, especially in the action sequences. The colors were bland and boring and everything had that shiny video look (look at the actors hair). Night scenes were horribly washed out. The audio was terribly inconsistent. Ugh.A period piece should be shot on film and not video to give it that authentic look. What was Mann trying to accomplish?
