John Ortiz Movies, Ranked

Michael Mann Regular, Silver Linings Best Friend

10 films, ranked on my own star ratings by Arwin Edward Bagaslao. Updated 2026-08-10.

Three Michael Mann films and one very stressed husband hiding in his own garage, and I only caught the pattern after lining all of this up. Ranked by my own stars, which puts American Gangster above every giant ape and muscle car he showed

1. 1
   American Gangster (2007)

   ★★★★½

   Nothing flashy. Nothing gimmicky. Just good old fashioned storytelling by Ridley Scott.

2. 2
   Kong: Skull Island (2017)

   ★★★★½
3. 3
   Fast & Furious (2009)

   ★★★★
4. 4
   Bumblebee (2018)

   ★★★½
5. 5
   Blackhat (2015)

   ★★★
6. 6
   The Cloverfield Paradox (2018)

   ★★★
7. 7
   Nobody 2 (2025)

   ★★½

   Don’t bring a machete to a fucking katana duel.

8. 8
   Silver Linings Playbook (2012)

   ★★½
9. 9
   Miami Vice (2006)

   ★★½

   Miami Vice feels like Michael Mann operating at a much larger scale, with more locations, moving parts, and glossy production value than his earlier work.

10. 10
    Public Enemies (2009)

    ★½

    The cinematography sometimes feels like a documentary.
