De Niro and Pacino Together; What More Do You Need?

Rating: 9/10 (18 May 2009)

Robert De Niro and Al Pacino sit down across one another playing characters on opposite sides of the law, in the first film that brought these two actors together. If that's not endorsement enough for seeing "Heat," then I have nothing else to offer.
This exceptional crime thriller from Michael Mann was one of the best films of 1995. Mann is a hit and miss director for me. "The Insider" -- great. "Miami Vice" -- not so much. "Heat" is definitely an example of Mann working at his best.
With a cast that also includes Val Kilmer, Jon Voight and Ashley Judd.
Grade: A
