Near to perfect and suspenseful heist action !

Rating: 9/10 (9 March 2015)

Heat is definitely one of my all time favorite policiers. It is not flawless but the positive sides outweigh easily the negative ones.
I have seen this movie now at least 15 times, but from the 10th time onwards, I'm skipping the last 10 minutes. The ending is not well done. At least not good enough for this fantastic movie. The story is leading us to such kind of an end, but still, for me it's badly made. One other down point is the acting in some scenes of Al Pacino. Nearly funny how he screams and articulate. But I think we know this from other Al Pacino movies as well. He is simply overdoing it. It is his personal style and you may go along with it or not. Still, the acting and interacting of both main characters is very interesting and entertaining. Only real bad acting is coming from Natalie Portman. But hey, she was young.
I like specially the very realistic heist action, the music which makes a big part of the suspense, Spinottis shooting, the sound effects and the under the line in all damn good work of Director & Writer Michael Mann.
It sums up to a one of a kind heist movie, loaded with suspense, action, violence and a story with many interesting plots where you are always willing to follow.
Go, and see this one, If you haven't yet !!
