If you look at the films of Michael Mann - Miami Vice, Heat, etc. - he's always put style over substance, accuracy of detail over depth of character. He makes...pretty movies, but not great films. The aforementioned Miami Vice movie was almost unwatchable, when the characters spoke. It's too bad because I really, REALLY wanted to be blown away by Public Enemies. But, quite honestly, it pales in comparison to a movie like Miller's Crossing or even the older Cagney and Robinson era portrayals. And, on a personal note, I hated the 'hand held' style used - annoyed the bejesus out of me!
