Deniro and Pacino shine opposite each other

Rating: 7/10 (20 September 2008)

Deniro is a professional armed robber who has planned a job on a bank but his previous job which resulted in the death of officers by a unreliable member has led...Pacino on his tail....one he can't get rid of.
The film shows the lives of both men brilliantly...Deniro's lonely existence and Pacino's hectic life. The film speeds up as it goes along and is an adrenaline rush when both men realise the other one...The best scene is probably the café scene when both sit and talk; I thought this was a brilliant performance by Deniro second to his great Vito Corleone... Pacino here uses his voice more often, shouting the catchphrase. The bank heist and the eventual shootout is brilliant; Michale Mann and will always be one of the best shootouts second to his Collateral shootout scene.
