From our evaluation:

Ford’s coloration palette for this movie — an industrial composite of gunmetal grays and navy blues that recall glass-paneled skyscrapers on a cloudy day — is paying homage to Michael Mann’s crime basic Warmth. And the amoral Emily would match proper in with Mann’s roster of hardened execs. Like James Caan in Thief, she’s good at what she does.

The distinction right here is, Michael Mann has by no means written such a juicy function for a lady.
