I really wanted to like this movie with De Niro being one of my favorite actors of all time on screen with Pacino. It was a decent drama that pits good versus evil, but in the end the story was not told interestingly enough, but you may like it. |

Most Underrated Movie Ever |
|
Michael Mann's finest film and maybe the best character movie of all time. You truly feel for the characters in this movie (apart from Waingro). This crime saga makes the simple story of cops and robbers and explodes it like no other movie ever has. And I'll go ahead and say it, this is the most underrated movie of all time. How this is not in the top 100 I have no idea. If you haven't seen it, you need to check it out. Brilliant in every aspect. |

Pacino and De Niro causes some major friction. |
|
The phrase epic is tossed around in film commentary far too much. Michael Mann's crime drama Heat, however, is very bit deservant of the term. While it certainly contains it's fair share of action (most notably a bank robbery sequence that runs for almost a half hour), those who are seeking an escapist shoot 'em up may find themselves woefully disappointed. This film is long and at times quite slow moving, but not to the effect of being boring. While it runs approximately 3 hours and 20 minutes, not one moment is squandered. It seems as though every single scene serves to give the viewer a deeper, richer understanding of each character.
Heat accomplishes something that very few films in the crime drama genre have been able to do. You know you who the bad guys are, you know where your m... |

Good |

This movie will probably be Pacino and De Niro's best film that they starred in together besides The Godfather part 2. It is a truly one of a kind Action/Drama with the lives of two opposing forces being played out simultaneously in front of us. It does have some slow points with De Niro And Kilmer, but overall a strong recommendation for any action movie lover. |

Pacino and DeNiro together for #31.......... |
|
What is not to like? Good solid action by Micheal Mann, my favorite two actors in Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro, the underrated work of Val Kilmer again as well as a supporting cast of Jon Voight, Tom Sizemore, Diane Venora, Amy Brenneman, Ashley Judd, Natalie Portman and Ted Levine...it all spells success to me. Even though they reportedly did not shoot a single scene together- it is the two leads that make this movie worthwhile. Pacino plays the determined cop perfectly and DeNiro is equally good as the crook looking to outsmart everyone for his next score. This movie also has the best gun battle scene ever when DeNiro's crew come out of the bank together only to find Pacino and co. waiting for them. Brilliantly directed and full of fun it is one of my favorites which is why it ranks at #... |
