Sam, we must be traveling on the same wavelength because I listened to Audioslave last week when I mowed the lawn and I've watched a ton of Miami Vice episodes on Pluto lately. I feel the same about Public Enemies too. I also think Ruffalo's detective Fanning in Collateral might be a cousin the Colin Farrell's Crockett.

Nice! Yeah, Ruffalo is good that role. Fanning and Crockett could be Nate from Heat's illegitimate kids...

Vincent from Collateral is the estranged brother Neil mentions to Eady in Heat

Fantastic piece. Collateral is such a great film and Tom's performance really blew my wig back at the time. That was not the Tom Cruise that I had expected to see. And Farrell is prime dirtbag in MV. Foxx again doing the work well.

".. he seems to have the facial hair of every character in Heat at the same time..." Great line.

While I agree with much of this post, unfortunately I cannot award it a like on account of the author's failure to adequately recognize some of the greatest American music ever composed (the discography of Audioslave).
