While that diner sequence is essential to understanding the characters, there’s a great deal more to the film, most from the work of Michael Mann in his capacity as director and screenwriter. And he simply does a terrific job.
Warner’s new 4k UHD is a gorgeous representation of the film. I cannot speak to grain structure, which here is very subtle, as I don’t recall the textures of original prints.
