All Star
One of my faves too. And probably my favorite Tom Cruise roles.

That shoot out. That music.

It's not in LA (Chicago, rather) but Thief was one of Mann's early films and one of the clearest predecessors to Collateral. Straight piff
It's true that mob guys are also vicious in Casino or Goodfellas, but they are also very cartoonish, and the true extent of their competence is played down. That was just Scorsese's style, he mixed brutality and humor. So in one scene you would have Joe Pesci crush a man's head in a vice and in the next you have Artie Piscano, the underboss of KC who could fukk up a cop of coffee.Haha, I love that scene too, so vicious and cold, but Frank walked right into it, and didn't play his hands right....I don't entirely agree with the Scorcese criticisms, I see your point though. Leo, in true Mann fashion is much more grounded in a grim and brutal reality, a modest house in t he suburbs, everyday 'good old guy' persona, underneath is the real face of the Mob, pure violence and manipulation.
