A masterpiece...

Rating: 10/10 (27 February 2000)

Michael Mann surely displays his talents the best in this movie. He has an eye for the naturalist feel and it really shows. Heat is by far the best movie I have ever seen. It's a combination of marvelous acting by Al Pacino and Robert Deniro, direction and story writing by Michael Mann, and the score by Elliot Goldenthal. There are a few lapses in story that I would have improved on but I will not argue with the finished product. A dynamic cast with stunning performances by all, including the most surprising Hank Azaria, best known for his voice on the Simpsons. This film is a must see for anyone who appreciates all of the elements that go into production of a movie. A definate thumbs up.
