"Heat" is by far the best crime movie of all time!!

Rating: 10/10 (20 January 2007)

How could you ever go wrong with a movie pitting two of Americas greatest actors of all time against each other. Al Pacino plays L.A.P.D detective Vincint Hanna who is hunting down master thief Neil McCauley(Robert DeNiro) and his team before they can make their next heist. With an all-star cast built up of Al Pacino, Robert DeNiro, Val Kilmer, and Tom Sizemore, "Heat" is a non-stop thrill ride filled with gun fights, explosions, and a great story line. It is also important not to forget the stars of those off camera. Written, produced, and directed by Michael Mann, "Heat" was the movie that truly placed Mann amongst the pack of greatest directors. With his devoted involvement to the film, "Heat" surpassed all viewers expectations for the first show down between Pacino and DeNiro.
In the film, Vincent Hanna(Pacino) is an LA detective working to stop master thief Neil McCauley and his team from pulling off another successful heist. While these two men are on opposite sides of the law, there is an undeniable connection between the two of them. They are both doing what they do best and both are unwilling to back down, regardless of the stakes and risks. Because of this, Hanna grows more and more distant from his third wife and step-daughter and McCauley begins loosing his team and the first woman he actually sees a future with. With the heat on both men, it's only through constant stand offs, gun fights, and explosions that we see who can and who will come out alive.
