Writer director Michael Mann's masterpiece to the general public

Rating: 10/10 (8 May 2019)

Heat is a classic and is elevated above the standard cops and robbers film by a few elements. Firstly it has possibly the two greatest actors of all time Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. Secondly it is written and directed by the greatest filmmaker of all time Michael Mann. Thirdly it has a who's who of supporting actors. Fourthly all this is crammed into an epic 160 minutes with some of the greatest filmmaking you will ever see. Thief, Manhunter and Heat are three films to be treasured.
