Why do Michael Mann movies just look better than anyone else's

[Tony D'Amato]

The cinematography and camera work is just always

They put The Insider on Amazon

Framing is everything. You have to allow the landscape of a shot to dictate the placement of the action. Go to the nearest major city and fire away with your camera. You’ll see what he’s seeing.

I didnt like the way miami vice turned out....The live action cameras was not needed it looked too low budget... even though the story was good it just looked off... it worked for collateral but he should have used regular cameras...

I had my fair share of issues with Miami Vice's script and performances, but that film did an excellent job making the city feel like an actual character.

I've always thought Heat looks like crap. The really bad green-screen scenes didn't look good when it first came out.

If you want great framing and cinematography, art films. For current folks working, directors like Sergei Loznitsa, Cristian Mungiu, Terrence Malick, Lav Diaz, etc. Funny enough, the first two directors on that list both use the same cinematographer (Oleg Mutu).

I thought Jamie's performance was overrated, but that movie looked dope. Need a Vincent prequel

To each their own, I can't put my finger on it but it looks "washed out" like a made for TV movie. And I don't like the shaky cam look either. Cruise made the movie dope tho

Both looked dope as hell to me. The only thing I liked about that Miami Vice movie was the visuals. Those miami night shots

I like Michael Mann’s movies but I can think of at least 3 other directors whose movies look better (visually)
