"Remember, time is luck."
"Yeah. Luck ran out."
I would die for Michael Mann; it's his slick and quick pacing, his ability to build these characters yearning for romance underneath a steel professionalism, it's the digital shot, the neon violence, the line readings, what should be tacky becomes exceptional and transcendent. You can't go wrong with this movie. I saw it at Metrograph on the big screen and it is easily the best first watch of the year for me.
