    Two lonely specks in the cosmos pass each other by and irreversibly change courses. Not sure why this hit me harder than it has on previous watches but I love the immediacy and working-class detail Mann manages to fit into the minute logistics of his thrills, the wounded…

    'Heat' begins with De Niro arriving in LA via the subway, 'Collateral' ends with Tom Cruise dying on the same subway as it leaves town. Both of their characters dress identically. What can this mean? What do trains represent in the Michael Mann canon? A terminus that marks…
