This week on Total Movie Recall, Ryan stares out the window of his furniture-less modernist home at the endless, uncaring ocean while Steve sleeps on the floor with his hand gripped around his pistol. The pseudo-philosophy of this movie seems deeper than it is because it\\u2019s endlessly reflected in all the glass buildings of Michael Mann\\u2019s uber-masculine vision. Sure, it may be pretentious, but that\\u2019s the point, and if you\\u2019ve got a problem with that, I will take you down, because we ain\\u2019t exactly doin\\u2019 thrill-seeker podcasts with \\u201cBorn to Lose\\u201d tattoos on our chests.
