A great crime-drama packed with stars

Rating: Null/10 (20 April 2002)

Al Pacino vs. Robert De Niro, it doesn't get much better than that. This is the first time the two have been together in a movie and I have to say that I was impressed with the storyline and the acting. Vincent Hanna(Pacino) is an L.A. Detective who is on the trail of Neil McCauley's(De Niro's) crew of armed robbery specialists. Actors such as Val Kilmer, Tom Sizemore, and Jon Voight are a part of McCauley's montage who will stop at nothing to take down that one last score. The cinematography in this movie was fantastic. Michael Mann is one of my favorite directors who did a great job with this great crime-drama packed with stars. If you liked HEAT, i highly recommend other Mann films such as Manhunter and THE INSIDER. I loved this movie.
