Mann, from his debut feature film, Thief, through those exemplary TV series Miami Vice and Crime Story to his cop-and-crook, cat-and-mouse Heat with Pacino and De Niro, has fashioned a body of work that puts him up there with Martin Scorsese as American entertainment's definitive chronicler of the underworld. This project promised to be the crowning achievement of a Chicago kid steeped in the lore and chivalric code of the bad guy. And moment by moment, it delivers details that seem true to the time - like the bank-robbery hostages mounted on the getaway...
...negligent in monitoring the patient's condition or fails to counsel the patient fully about proper diet and exercise, that patient could have a heart attack - requiring more treatments - and the doctor would take a financial hit. "The more defects you prevent, the more money you make," says Francois de Brantes, the health-payment-reform guru who coordinates Prometheus.

...airline's near-sparkling safety record is of little comfort to France's enraged Comoran community of 250,000. Following the crash, their protests of what they call Yemenia's reckless practices disrupted the airline's flights from Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport and forced it to discontinue its flights from Marseille. "This accident was inevitable, because these planes don't respect international standards," says Farid Soilihi, president of the Marseille-based SOS Voyages To Comoros association, which was formed in 2008 to protest Yemenia's service.
