Really Good

Rating: 10/10 (7 June 2002)

*Heat*
Over the years I've been told I had a weird taste in movies. Unlike most girls my age I would rather watch a Robert De Niro movie over a Freddie Prinze Jr. one. But if I had a top 100 movies list Titanic would probably be by Heat. So I guess you could say I have bi-sexual movie taste. Anyway I enjoyed Heat very much.
Al Pacino plays the cop, Robert De Niro plays the bad guy. Just having those two leads it's obvious this will be no ordinary movie. Their first meeting is in a coffee shop. The scene is incredibly well done. I kept thinking "Micheal, your father loves you very much," but they were playing completely different characters from The Godfather II.
Many people complain about the length of Heat but it didn't bother me. It allowed you to get to know the character's lives outside of their jobs. De Niro and Pacino give great performances and so do it's supporting cast. Ashley Judd, Val Kilmer, Jon Voight, and even Natalie Portman has a few scenes. This is a great movie and I highly recommend it for anyone who is a fan of the genre.
*9.5/10*
