Exceptionally over-rated

Rating: 3/10 (17 February 1999)

"Heat" is the most disappointing movie I have ever seen. Robert De Niro and Al Pacino are mere shadows of themselves. And the big scope of the movie being them acting together...what a joke!
It is also way too long. It could have been an okay action movie if it was cut in half the length. The most pathetic about the movie is the black guy that works at a coffee joint. You spend half an hour on his story and what happens? The Bank scene is good, though.
This is a masterpiece in destroying a movie with potential..
