Michael Mann‘s Tokyo Vice, a limited HBO Max miniseries, begins on April 7. Somewhere around six or seven episodes, I’m guessing. (Does anyone actually know?) It’s great to have one of the greatest filmmakers of the ’80s, ’90s and aughts back in the saddle.
Oh, and if I read one more numbskulled, lame-ass reference to Ansel Elgort having been through a controversial passage in his career due to Gabby’s hurt feelings (sorry, girl, but love affairs can sometimes leave bruises), I’m going to get angry. Move on, let it go, life is rarely a bowl of cherries, etc.
Boilerplate: “Loosely inspired by American journalist Jake Adelstein’s non-fiction first-hand account of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police beat, the crime drama series, filmed on location in Tokyo, captures Adelstein’s (played by Ansel Elgort) daily descent into the neon-soaked underbelly of Tokyo in the late ‘90s, where nothing and no one is truly what or who they seem.”
