One of the finest movies ever made

Rating: 10/10 (5 November 1998)

Everything in the movie has had the fullest attention of the makers. It seems everything had to be perfect in the movie. The movie has a good story and although its a crime-story, it gets a little romantic at some points. It is like a box which contains something very bad, but has been wrapped with beautiful giftpaper. At some points in the story you almost sympathise with the bad guys.
The movie has it all: Violence, humor, drama, suspense etc. But also the scenery, the music, the actors and the clothing have all been carefully chosen. The director Michael Mann was the producer of Miami Vice. People who have seen the TV serie Miami Vice will see some similarities.
This the first movie so far were Al Pacino and Robert de Niro play together. Personally I think they are one of the best actors so far.
Heat gives you real entertainment for about three hours long. It may not be one of the most originally stories ever written, but it is certainly one of finest and best made movies I have ever seen.
