[Strangelet]

i thought it was satisfying. After a while I just assumed that the dialog was not meant to be followed closely, all of the unexplained parlance and jargon, half uttered ideas mumbled into the lapels of expensive suits, I figured Mann was trying to suggest an experience where you felt like it wasn't being performed, nor was your presence even all that welcome, which kind of added a bizarre kind of authenticity to something that is ultimately a farce acted out in hightened intensity.

I agree with everyone's opinion that Mann is king shit when it comes to visual candy. I also think he's brilliant at crescendo, building and peeking. and I'm a type of movie goer where I could be thrilled with just that.
