The definite crime story!

Rating: 10/10 (9 September 1999)

I've recently seen "Heat" for the third time, and I loved it like I did when I saw it the first time. Even my fiancee liked it, and she normally hates Action moves. Most of the other comments have already mentioned the fantastic cast, led by De Niro and Pacino (who bring out the best of their supporting actors and actresses), the realistic action sequences, the unforgettable music and the touching story. There is a small detail I would like to add: The length. It is not one minute too long. In contrary, I could've watched an hour or so more, it is one of the few movies where I was quite sad when it was over and done. We all complain about flat characters in the movies. Then one man dares to change it and is criticized for. Michael Mann showed no fear to develop his characters and this does need certain time!! There are only two bad things about "Heat": First, it ends! Second, how could any movie in this category try to top it? I rate it 10 out of 10.
