Heat is Michael Mann's best film till date

Rating: 10/10 (22 April 2019)

Heat is by far Michael Mann's best work till date. And no disrespect to his amazing works like Insider and Public Enemies. There is something about Heat which you can relate on a personal and emotional level.
The movie is an all-time classic, carried out with outstanding performances from industry legends, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. The film exhibits an insight into both sides of the law in an intriguing and appealing manner.
There are some classic moments from the film which you can never forget. The coffee shop scene between Pacino and De Niro (this was the first time these two actors shared screen space besides working in The Godfather 2). The beautifully shot shootout scene between Pacino's squad and De Niro's crew.
Apart from the story and selection of actors for his film, Mann's movies are also known for their deep and satisfying background score. The background score of the film is in sync with every scene of the film in the most suitable fashion. Thanks to Elliot Goldenthal.
I'm a big fan of both Pacino and De Niro. Honestly, if you are looking for a movie with stellar performances and an intense plot, I would suggest you watch the first 20 minutes of the film and I bet you'll be hooked on till the end.
