Best gangster film I've ever seen.

Rating: 10/10 (21 April 2000)

This must be the best gangster movie I've ever seen (bought the DVD today). A big part of it reminds me of the old Miami Vice series. The atmosphere, the music, the women, ... But Heat even goes a little further with better action scenes. Instead of mostly filming the good guys Heat seems to divide that 50-50. Kinda weird because in the beginning you don't know whether you should look at the police as the good guys or the gangsters, really terrific! What I liked most was that particular gunshot scene after De Niro & Co robbed the bank. It is simply the best gunshot scene I've seen until today. Only negative comment I could say about Heat is that the movie is a bit too long, even if it doesn't get boring a single time. And maybe a little more action scenes would not have hurt. I rated it 9/10.
