Extremely entertaining.

Me, I'm usually not one for action movies. However, I flipped on HEAT one day when it was in the middle of its 3 hour run. I was hooked to it immediately. I watched the remaining hour and a half, and watched it again when it rebroadcasted. After that, I ran out and bought the DVD. This movie is amazing. De Niro and Pacino are super super super cool. Better yet, they define the term "cool". They both act brilliantly. And may I say, ahem, they have quite the sex appeal(!) Ladies, don't get turned off by the "action" label on this movie. It's not ALL action. The romantic sub-plots are quite touching and real, and will surely make you root for the "bad guy" in the end! I have to say, I felt for both De Niro and Pacino's characters-- that's the sign of fine screenplay, acting, and directing. The little looks that De Niro and Pacino make say a 1,000 words. Also, some of the best lines are said in this movie! And if anyone thinks of cursing as an art form, one can take pointers from this film. All I wish is that Harvey Keitel would have been in this one too-- now that would have been some billing, eh?!
