Manhunter disqualifies Mann with prejudice.
FUCK YOU
Heat and Collateral are also pretty not-excellent.
Literally the worst opinion I’ve ever heard

No joke: Akira Kurosawa is one of my absolute least favorite filmmakers. Throne of Blood is great and Ran is okay, but I've hated just about everything else I've watched (or tried to watch) from him.
