Heat

Rating: 7/10 (7 September 2005)

This is a pretty good crime action thriller where there are mainly chase sequences between the cops and the crooks. I think it is called Heat either for the amount of explosions, or the Heat of the chases. Al Pacino plays Lt. Vincent Hanna, the detective on the lookout for a crime gang planning to do something to the city, or something. Robert De Niro is Neil McCauley, the man mainly in charge of this gang, and the one who Hanna mainly wants to get his hands on. McCauley is a pretty hardcore criminal because he does not care who he kills to get his own way. Also starring Val Kilmer as the nasty Chris Shiherlis, Jon Voight as Nate, Ted Levine as Bosko and Natalie Portman as Lauren Gustafson. Robert De Niro was number 2, and Al Pacino number 1 on The 100 Greatest Movie Stars, De Niro was number 50, and Pacino number 26 on The 100 Greatest Pop Culture Icons, Pacino and De Niro together were number 5 on The World's Greatest Actor. Very good!
