Great Crime/Cop Vehicle That's A Bit Underrated

Rating: 9/10 (28 June 2007)

What do you say about a great script and inspired direction, which brings DeNiro and Pacino together on the same screen? It's every bit as great as it sounds like it would be. Directed by Michael Mann, this actioner carries a heavy story, along with fantastic action sequences, while building great suspense through marvellous direction and believable dialog, not to mention a great score by Elliot Goldenthal.
All in all? I found this highly enjoyable, and can't wait to add it to my collection. I don't know how I missed this one, but I did. While this isn't a great big block-bustery KABOOM pic, it's close enough for a Friday night viewing, if cop/crime actioners are your thing. This would make great viewing anytime.
I loved it and think it deserves better than the 8.1 it currently enjoys here at IMDb.COM.
