Heat: a Michael Mann masterclass of the heist movie genre

Rating: 10/10 (6 April 2018)

Director Michael delivers one of the best thrillers of the last few decades with Heat. A movie that came out in 1995 and continues to influence every heist movie that has come after it. I have yet to witness a heist movie that even comes close to the greatness of this slick thriller of a movie. Robert De Niro's Neil McCauley and Al Pacino's Vincent Hanna are riveting to watch. Val Kilmer's extremely cool Chris shiherlis steals the show in some of the movies greatest action scenes. The city of L.A is also captured beautifully; whether it is a heart-racing gun fight on the streets of L.A or a conversation between two guys in restaurant, the city of angels feels like a character of its own.
Thanks to memorable performances, gorgeous cinematography, insane action sequences and a great plot, Heat is the king of its genre and also one of the greatest movies of all time.
