this movie is so underrated

Rating: 10/10 (24 November 2003)

I consider Heat one of the most entertaining movies I have seen. It has never deserved the credit it deserves, for example here at imdb.com it sometimes makes it to the top 250, when in my opinion it should be at least in the top 100. Many people don't like this movie because of the length, its long but its because there are so many sub plots and the details are incredible.
Characters are very human, there are no super heroes or any Rambo style characters that we see often in action/crime flicks. The shootings are extremely real with no unnecessary explosions, its completely believable. My favorite would have to be DeNiro as a cold and calculating veteran thief. I could write a lengthy comment but to keep short: Camera work 9 Plot 10 Action 10 Dialog 9
