I think DEEP AS THE MARROW is so powerful a tale, it would be =hard= to ruin. By anybody. And, jeez, Mann did butcher THE KEEP, but he's gone on to direct some decent flicks. Hasn't he? Ain't it time to let bygones be bygones?

Mann is a curious egg.
The Last Of The Mohicans is one of my favourite films, as is Heat. I didnt think much of Miami Vice.
Collaterol was good, but I think it's spoiled somewhat by the gimmicky casting of Tom Cruise. He becomes less and less convincing each time I watch it.
I accidentally dropped a load of worthless change in the street. I was going to just leave it there but a burly policeman lumbered towards me and said, "You'd better pick that up, son."
I hate coppers.

Haven't seen the others, but I thought HEAT was top-notch.
Danny Devito and Whoopee Goldberg?????? But who would play "Vicky"?
I guess that "Abe" would be played by Woody Allen?
Uugggg! :-)

Right on target, Lexator! Vicky would be played by Britney Spears.

Then it would be Brett Rattner directing, not Michael Mann.

Axioms Jack seems to live by (inadvertantly or not):
Why he does what he does: "I chose this life. I know what I'm doing. And on any given day, I could stop doing it. Today, however, isn't that day. And tomorrow won't be either." Bruce Wayne, Identity Crisis
On Rasalom: "Water's wet, the sky is blue...and good old Satan Claus, Jimmy...he's out there...and he's just gettin' stronger." Joe Hallenbeck, The Last Boyscout

This has always been the best representation of Jack that I have found:
Ron Eldard
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

I can't get by him as the whiney womanizer in Mystery Alaska or the annoying newbie pilot who end up blind in Deep Impact...has he done anything where he plays angry effectively? I'd definitely watch it.

Ryan Reynolds was Berg in Two Guys, A Girl, and a Pizza Place fercrisakes!!!! Not that I didn't love him in that role. Neither Amityville Horror nor Blade 3 impressed me in the least.
Ron Eldard was in Black Hawk Down and Sleepers, among other things, but I don't know if he was "angry." That picture always impressed me aesthetically mainly, but I think Eldard could also pull off the acting. Reynolds is too BIG (height and breadth). Jack should look unimpressive. I've also thought a wiry, toned DiCaprio could pull off the role (after seeing The Departed), though he is also 6' tall.
