The best movie I´ve ever seen

Rating: 10/10 (10 January 1999)

After watching Heat at my local complex three years ago I was
out of words because I had just seen a true masterpiece. When I Watched this film again yesterday (for the seventh time) I still agree with myself that this is the best film I´ve ever seen. Absolutely everything in this film is marvellous. The scene when Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino) talks to Neil McCauley(Robert DeNiro)in the coffee shop is the highlight of the film as well as the one were DeNiro´s robber gang confronts Pacino´s Policeteam in a big shootout. All the actors,the splendid cinematography,the music,the dialogue etc makes this an extraordinary flick. Robert DeNiro portrays one of his most interesting characters ever as the tough and focused but also vulnerable Neil McCauley. Fine actors: Tom Sizemore, Ashley Judd, Mykelti Williamson, Jon Voight, Val Kilmer and Diane Venora are perfect beside the dynamic duo of DeNiro-Pacino. Although the film is very long you never get bored from watching it. Michael Mann (the director) could have made an ordinary and cliché-filled Actionmovie but instead he has brought us not only great action but also lovely characters with different dimensions. This is a film for everyone and it´s in fact quite hard to put it in a special genre. Don´t dare to miss this one!
