Painfully nineties, but really just painful.

Rating: 1/10 (20 February 2009)

This film has long passed its use-by date.
On paper, it looks like the best film ever. Al Pacino and Robert De Niro - and IMDb has it safely on its Top 250 - but it is a terrible film. And least of all because of Ashley Judd's multi-coloured leggings.
There is nothing to this film. For its length, you'd expect the depth and density of a masterpiece like "The Departed". Instead, what you get is all the character saying the word "heat" over and over, and some very dated action sequences. There are an infinite number of clichés in this film.
Clearly it was amazing when it came out in cinemas and people have been clinging to it ever since.
