Terrific, one of my personal favourite crime thrillers

Rating: 9/10 (11 March 2019)

I recently re-watched 'Heat' and was reminded of what a brilliant film it is. This has to be one of the best crime thrillers of the 90s and is up there as one of my personal favourites in the genre of all time. It is a truly epic film, not just in terms of its length but also its brilliantly constructed plot and complex characters. 'Heat' has you hooked from the start and the action-sequences, visuals, and all-round absorbing plot holds your attention throughout.
DeNiro and Al Pacino are two actors at the top of their game in this film and both deliver outstanding performances and real personality to their characters. There are lots of great actors but few can make the viewer feel as emotionally involved with their characters like these two - they are faultless in this film. 'Heat' is an epic spectacle and a classic of the crime genre.
