A Classic

Rating: 8/10 (17 March 2002)

When watching the film thinking about it; there isn't much to say, only that it's a great heist film in which their is hardly any downfall's. The script is electric as is the screenplay.
There are two things which are so great about 'Heat'; one is that it's two main stars are probably two of the best icons of the gangster and crime genre's since Humphrey Bogart. The other if you break the whole of the film down; the messages in which Michael Mann (director) is trying to do, the story is mainly cops catching robbers.
The only down point about the film that there isn't more scene time with Pacino and DeNiro than the (what it looks like) a 'When Harry Met Sally' scene; in which both are sitting in a cafe opposite each other across a table.
If you want to find a modern day 'French Connection' film; this is probably the closest you'd get (apart from Reservoir Dogs as well). A wonderful film.
