...little chip in my Nikes would malfunction. It's telling the nano my pace, and the nano in turn is taunting me: a 10-min. 30-sec. clip, with about another half a mile to go. I sprint--and almost die--near the finish. One mile completed, the nano screen reads. My time: 9 min. 42 sec. Yes! Cue the Chariots of Fire music...

The movie's guiding force is producer Michael Mann, who made the small- and big-screen versions of Miami Vice. The Mann style is everywhere evident: in the prowling camera and elliptical editing, the pile-driving music (a surprisingly formulaic score by Denny Elfman), the gigantic, pore-probing closeups of the actors' faces, the vigorous ersatz-realism. Everything moves so much and so fast that...
