Character driven crime drama.

Rating: 10/10 (26 June 2000)

Brilliant film masterpiece by Michael Mann. Superb cast lead by Al Pacino, and Robert DeNiro; who share the screen for the first time. Neil (DeNiro) is a master thief about to take his last score, Vincent (Pacino) is a veteran detective obsessed with taking him down. Mann throws away stereotypes and guides a multidimensional story line around the very human and flawed characters of the film. Touching, and thrilling the film explores morality in an interesting way. You will find yourself torn between routing for the cops and the crooks. Brilliant, gritty story telling, by a true master: Michael Mann.
