DeNiro meet Pacino...Viewer meet Acting HEAVEN!

Rating: 10/10 (10 March 2013)

The two greatest actors of all time or this generation anyway finally face off. Yes they were in Godfather 2 but at different parts.
In this three hour Michael Mann LA Crime Saga that flows very smooth and is very dynamic, the two do not go face to face until the half-way mark.
Their scene in the LA Diner where they actually call the table they sit at NOW (THE TABLE) where many fans ask to sit to this day is top notch. One of the best acted scenes ever.
It is good cop (Pacino) against top heist man De Niro and both characters do not have a perfect like but hey feel compassion and empathy for one another SAYING they wont like having to gun the other man down, yet they will if they have to because their morals are too high. Both men believe to the core in what they are doing so their acting is very believable. Judd, Kilmer, Voight, among other recognizable names appear in the movie and only make it better.
The LA bank robbery half-way through the movie is an amazing shoot-out scene. Very intense, suspenseful.
The quotes in this movie are amazing and really stick with you.
I say what I mean and I do what I say -Pacino Life is Short the only time we got is luck -De Niro
Plus Pacino has a lot of comic relief.
There is a great message the movie sends. Everything makes sense and at times you miss things so a repeated viewing is pretty necessary for s film like this, it helps you appreciate it more.
There is a subplot about family, divorce, suicide, depression, monogamy, morals and what-not, this is an extremely well-balanced film with action, acting, story line, messages, quotes, one of the best crime movies ever.
In fact, one of the best all around films of all time as far as I an concerned.
9.9 out of 10.
Do not only watch, add it to your collection.
