Action, wise script and great actors !

Rating: 9/10 (19 July 1999)

As I was viewing the backside of the video case before watching the film, I saw a list awesome actors in a same film. To name a few: Robert de Niro, Al Pacino, Val Kilmer and Tom Sizemore. Robert plays the role of a bad guy as Al plays the "good" guy.
One crucial thing in this movie is that both Pacino & Niro are great character actors. Roles are played convincingly and with style. Second one is that Michael Mann has done really nice job with the script. The Heat is on from beginning to the end of the movie. And that´s not just the case with action. Michael Mann keeps the film going also with intelligent storyline that surprises the viewer every now and then. Like when McCauleys gang meet in the harbour area just to lure the good guys to show their faces in wide open.
But again ! Typical "Hollywood"-like end somehow flattened end of the movie.
Except of that little "bug" in the end, Heat is a great movie. Even duration of 3 hours goes quickly. If you´ve seen Usual Suspects and liked it, you´ll love this one.
