I know you will call me old fashioned, but I really think it's harmful and inapropriate to review unmade scripts that still have the chance to get made (and that have been leaked to you by shady connections). This is not journalism, certainly not criticism, but chatter and shallow speculation with other people's hard work. What do you want? The power to greenlight films? Who the fuck cares for a Playlist-approved script? Stick to the films, please.

You should try and get Mann to revisit Runaway Weekend AKA Angels Never Die, content also about an LA P.I. — this one is based on and inspired by a true story. I've had some major production companies showing interest — now they want their top level director and A-list talent attached. Still working on that. The aforementioned content would be a great fit for Mark Wahlberg and I don't think he's worked with Mann yet.

I'd still like to see the film happen someday. Thanks, Playlist!
