best Mann movie

Rating: 10/10 (27 August 2004)

What a great movie !!
Story:
Neil McCauley is a thief... an expert thief... one of the best. His philosophy in life - become attached to nothing in life that you can't walk away from if the "Heat" is on. His crew of criminals is a high-tech outfit pulling off professional jobs that impress even the likes of Detective Vincent Hanna. But Hanna, a man driven through life only by his work, becomes obsessed, at the expense of his private life, with bringing McCauley down. As McCauley's crew prepare for the score of a lifetime, and Hanna's team tries to bring him in, the two find that they are challenged by the greatest minds on the opposite side of the law that either one has ever encountered.
My opinion:
This is certainly my favorite Micheal Mann movie, and also one of my favorite movies of all time.
You wanna now why ? well because of the great story, almost perfect cast and of course it's great soundtrack and ending.
But the most powerful thing about this movie is the fact that you can't choose side between the L.A.P.D (Pachino,) or the master criminals leaded by deniro. do you want the cops to stop the bad guys or do you want them to get away with it ?
This movie also contains some of the best scenes i've ever seen, like the big bank shoot-out and the coffie house scene with deniro and pachino Talking about there different lives who actually look a lot like each other. Cop and criminal do respect each other but if the Heat comes around the corner they will take each other down.
like i said before i see this movie as one of the best of all time and i think it is underrated by a lot of IMDb members. i am happy the staff gives it an 8.6 which it deserve. i give this movie a nine out of ten.
9.5/10 **********
