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.

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.

This movie should be good but it is not. I really like crime thrillers but this did not thrill me. First of all it was far too long. There were many scenes that were fairly unimportant or not made clear why they were important. Another major problem was in a film like this it is generally favorable for you to root for someone and want another person taken down. This is not the case in this. Both leads are well played but you do not really like or dislike either of the characters making it unimportant to you of who will win. That is why this does not work. This also is a film clearly made in the nineties nor necessarily a flaw but just something that sticks out.

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.
