Michael Mann

Men who are the best at what they do, in cities at night. In Heat, an obsessive master thief leads a crew through a string of Los Angeles heists while a detective just as driven chases him. Collateral has a Los Angeles cab driver take a fare who turns out to be a hitman. The Last of the Mohicans moves the same intensity to frontier America, with Hawkeye and the last Mohicans.

Signature
