A Truly Great Film

Rating: Null/10 (29 July 1998)

Heat is masterful crime drama starring Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. Pacino plays a cop obsessed with always getting his man. De Niro is a lifetime criminal who leads a top notch crew of bank robbers, that includes Val Kilmer, Tome Sizemore, and Danny Trejo. Added to this is an unforgettable scene in a coffee shop between De Niro and Pacino, marking the first time they have appeared on screen together. While it's 164 minute running time may seem long for a film of this genre, there is not one unnecessary scene in this film. To the contrary, Heat leaves you wanting more.
