Yep. I'm a big Mann fan and this is one of his better later efforts. Cruise is very good here as is Foxx. Great support too, from the likes of Barry Shabaka Henley, Mark Ruffalo Javier Bardem and Bruce McGill.
And LA looks great at night due to the digital cameras used.
Some of the dialogue between Cruise and Foxx in the cab is brilliant...Cruise has a very focused sense of clarity and purpose, and constantly exposes and belittles Foxx' naive, childish ambitions and pipe dreams.
And yes...that scene in the alley is a standout.
