Michael Mann is one of the greatest directors of tension, suspense, and action. While filmmakers like Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese are the godfathers of the crime genre, Mann has an unparalleled ability to get things moving at a kinetic pace; his movies make the audience feel as though they’re in the action. Ever since his days as a showrunner on the classic cop series Miami Vice, Mann has used his unique stylistic abilities to bring great characters to life.
