Now that you know the movie, search for the bank robbery scene. It may be the best gunfight ever filmed.

Such a fantastic movie. This scene is top 3 shooting scenes too. They did it in downtown LA on location and reverb off the buildings is visceral.

Yes, absolutely mind blowing movie and scene, especially if you have a chance to catch it on the big screen.
The reason for the great sound (if I remember coreectly) is the use of blanks, instead of lazy post-editing visuals and sound effects (like in most movies). And also the depth of characters, the acting and the cinematography all come together into this amazing film.

Same with Collateral.
Michael Mann seems to be the only director to really nail the sound of guns.

I’m jealous if you haven’t seen it, amazing experience, I really recommend you check it out.
My wife hates action movies but loves this one, always cries at the end. Very deep exploration of some (flawed) characters and sad life stories, for both policemen and criminals - the realistic action scenes and 90s LA are just the backdrop.
