It seems to be a recurring theme with Michael Mann's films, they are so expensive to make.. Ali and Miami Vice both had budgets over 100mil and both were flops. But i'll be damned If they aren't well made movies. He just likes to take his sweet time and shoots a lot of takes. Similar to David Fincher who just signed a multi-picture deal with Neflix, as there is no other studio today that is willing to take such risk with expensive films that aren't based on comic books.

Remember when Anti-Tobacco was a Big Deal back then? Then 9/11 happened and Hollywood found a new villain trope to exploit. Meanwhile, Big Tobacco modified their sales and marketing and you can still buy cigarettes at your local convenience and Pharmacy stores of all places. LOL
