“I don’t care who you fuck, the deal was you get back before the housekeepers arrive in the morning!”
Is this a rule you have to make before you say I do or can it be implemented at anytime? Follow up question, do you have to have housekeepers or can it be amended to just be home before the sprinklers come on or something?
I saw this at the AMC Early Access screening in the Dolby Cinema, i.e. the theater you go to for giant picture and ear-splitting sound, and had most of the same complaints - it was an impenetrable parade of interchangeable Italian men in identical cars, talking in shorthand. (An exception was that one lackey who looked like Bobby Moynihan.) It felt like a movie made for gearheads who already knew everything about the story, and reading the Wiki afterward was so much more entertaining/enlightening.
Really, and I know this is film nerd sacrilege, my larger issue is that I'm not a Michael Mann guy. I love Thief, The Insider, and Collateral as much as anyone, but the rest of his filmography ranges from merely good (yes, I'm talking about Heat), to actively awful (everything since Collateral - I've never walked out of a movie, and I've never been closer than during Miami Vice).
Yeah, I also saw one of the Dolby screenings, and the dialog audibility was worse than any Nolan movie.
That said, the movie really needs a “see it with the biggest sound system possible” marketing campaign, because it was one of the best uses of Dolby Atmos I’ve heard so far. I loved the racing because it felt visceral in a way that I’ve never really seen before, and reading articles about how he built replica cars with camera rigs so they could actually go 100-150mph makes me really appreciate what he did. A shame he couldn’t put a better movie around the racing.
I want to make fun of you for your classic “old man yells at clouds” reviews (can’t hear anything, make the cars different colors) except I agree with all of it. (In most cases. Haven’t seen Ferrari but I’m sure I’d feel the same.)

I think in that case it becomes: After the mailman comes. But I'm not sure why...?
