Michael Mann's Magnum Opus

Rating: 9/10 (9 January 2010)

I've never given a 10 out of 10 to any movie,but Heat is probably the closest.One of the greatest movies of all time,and a crown jewel of Michael Mann's film-making.Everything in this movie is absolutely astonishing.It's amazing how someone could perfectly combine so many elements such as screenplay,directing,cast,music,atmosphere which resulted in this masterpiece.The cast of the movie is amazing,especially Roberd De Niro and his role.His portrait of cold blooded criminal mastermind is incredible,the best act of his career,i dare to say.Al Pacino also did a great job,as a hard boiled detective whose life is falling to pieces while he tries to take on the world.I have a feeling that I could watch this movie endless times and I would still find it attractive.Not many movies have that privilege.Once again - Michael Mann,I salute you.
