As good as they get

Rating: 10/10 (31 August 2001)

As crime movies go, this is the best I have seen so far and I have seen a few. What could look like the typical police movie really hides the classic masterpiece of the genre.
Pacino (the street smart and clearly obsessed detective) and de Niro (the ultra-professional robber) enroll in a three hour long cat and mouse game that not only takes full advantage of these (and other) superb actors, but also gives you a lot to think about regarding who is good/bad and what we do with our lives.
If you haven't already, see it. It is a film almost everyone loves.
