this film perhaps led to north Hollywood shootout

Rating: 8/10 (20 September 2008)

Heat is a kind of film with multi star cast including AL pacino, Robert DE Niro, Val kilmer , Jon voight and many others. The movie shows a game of deception and competition between LAPD officers and group of crooks. The lead officer in pursuit is Al pacino and the gang is led by Robert DE Nero. Both the cop and criminal had quite a few things in common , they both have courage to fight not to give up till the end , they had perhaps unhappy childhood and some family problems. It was great combination of these 2 heavy weights of Hollywood , They had developed some respect and regard of each other. I liked one scene of pacino very much when he confronts the boy friend of his wife in home. That was ,," u can come to my home, u can eat my food, stay around here for some while, u can even f*** my wife(f*** my wife , its free of cost ,dont miss the golden opportunity, u re welcome) but u can never watch my t.v". The most special , when the fire fight is started outside a bank which was being robbed by the bandits , the first shot is fired by val kilmer and then a very much realistic street gun battle , i never in any drama except war movies they are however are different story. This fire fight looked very much real like in front of ur own eyes. As a matter of fact national geographic presented a documentary about north Hollywood shootout in situation critical series. They show Larry Phillips and Emil mataserreanu rampage the streets with gun power towards L.A police and civilians. When the bandits are dead after a so much long gruesome battle, they searched the apartment of Larry Phillips , where they also found a copy of heat from his VCR. It was speculated that perhaps this fantasy took over the mind of both robbers coz there was incredible similarity between the movie and shootout. It had shown in the film as mentioned before and in the end that bandits even fought till the end , even they were ready to die and not to turn their back regardless whatever the odds are. Anyway i enjoyed it and liked it. 7*1/2 out of 10 i ll give it
