I don't remember it much, yea I didn't really like it much either tbh

I'd say Ali and Manhunter are better and more watchable.

Have you seen insider and Mohicans yet?

Thief, the progenitor of Heat? I think you know the answer

Both. I refuse to choose. Batman Begins is a top 3 GOAT superhero movie and the GOAT superhero origin story. Thief is fuckin' Thief and made by a hungry Michael Mann.

Thief is an absolute classic and paved the way for all the stylistic mob crime movies that came after it.

Batman Begins is the best Nolan Batman

Agreed.

 

[HenryFlower]

wtf?! Batman Begins is in the d-leagues compared to Thief

 

[I Fusion I]

i think so, havent seen blackhat

I haven't seen it since years.

Ad for the thread, I'd say Begins is overall the better film. A lot more rewatchable and fun i think, and it has a better soundtrack and villain

I do like the gritty, urban style of thief though and the action scenes.

Thief all day. Michael Mann is a much better director than Nolan.

Plus the Tangerine Dream score is amazing
