Outstanding cops and robbers action!

Rating: Null/10 (5 March 2000)

Too long by 30 minutes but still a must see as long as you don't mind gunfire-At points this resembles a Schwarzenegger movie! The shootout between the police and the gang is incredible. Pacino shows his usual one inch of range-you will swear you have seen his exact character in at least ten other movies-and you have-but he fits the part. The rest of the cast is very solid with De Niro the hood stealing the show. Like most of Michael Mann's better stuff this belongs in a theatre but if not at least find surround sound and a big screen to see it.
