Saw it tonight. Typical Michael Mann effort: nice tight pacing, excellent camera work and good gun action. The U.S. Marshall with the 1911 was my favorite. A bit Hollywood with those scenes but it did put a smile on my face. When you see it you'll know what I mean. Recommended.

The IT geek in me wants to go see it, but I am afraid I will just have my heart broken like always.
But I'll definitely buy the soundtrack.
Gotta see American Sniper first.
Several friends saw it today. Highly recommended it.

American Sniper was not good at all. I like Cooper and Easrwood and liked the book but the movie fell short in every way.
Agreed on all points.
There are movies, and there are films.
Having just seen it, this is the latter.

Movie-A series of images arranged in a 2 hour time span with little or no advance thinking. Example-'November Man'.
Film-Someone or a team of someones with a brain dared to make something creative and thoughtful.Example-'Blackhat'.
