He's a perfect Michael Mann
hero, in other words — a master at what he does with a hidden romantic side, and Day - Lewis» the quietness of Day - Lewis» performance makes his few stirring speeches (his offered self - sacrifice, the famous «I will find you»

to be summoning
up all of the energy he's kept conserved in his body throughout the rest of the film.
