Perfect Cat and Mouse Movie

This movie was absolutely amazing. I cannot believe it took me this long to watch it. I really like who they chose to play which roles. I think Pacino was great as the detective and De Niro was great as the criminal. A perfect cat and mouse movie, where both cat and mouse are equally smart and equally devoted to their chosen livelihood. The scene at the coffee table was a brilliant dialogue that I will now think of for all movies with the same background.

The performances are all, of course, top notch and every aspect of the film that surrounds them is faultlessly engineered to create a near perfec...

Heat review

A talented cast consisting of the main antagonist criminal tactician Neil McCauley (Robert De Niro), Lieutenant Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino), and Chris Shiherlis (Val Kilmer). McCauley’s team consists of Chris, Michael Cheritto (Tom Sizemore), Trejo (Danny Trejo), and Waingro (Kevin Gage). Hanna has marital problems and her step daughter Lauren (Natalie Portman) is affected. Neil discovers that Charlene Shiherlis (Ashley Judd) is cheating on Chris with Alan Marciano (Hank Azaria). Memorable quotes from the film: Vincent Hanna – “I gotta hold on to my angst. I preserve it because I need it. It keeps me sharp (snaps fingers), on the edge (snaps fingers), where I gotta be.” Neil McCauley – “I don't even know what I'm doing anymore. I know life is short, whatever time you get is luck.
