The greatest fil4m of the 90s and one of the greatest of all time

Rating: 10/10 (29 November 2019)

The reviewers here who rated this film low and it gave it anything less than a 10 either didn't get it, or do not appreciate what Michael Mann did here, unfortunately. DO NOT LISTEN to the low score reviews here. Do not even read those. These people missed the point. It is their opinion, however, their opinions are wrong in this case. This is an epic film that holds up even today. They don't make films like this anymore. One person said that De Niro acted out of character when he decided to fo after Waingro at the end. This person missed the point entirely. The point was that the each time he deviated from his "Have no attachments that you cannot walk away from if you spot the Heat around the corner," things went bad for him. That was why he lived by that rule. When he deviated from it, he lost. That's why he finally lost to Pacino in the end. Also many on here who complain the film is too long also did not get it. The movie needed this length of time to tell this story, and the personal lives of the characters were brought into play FOR A REASON. It is called chatacterization. The movie did its job of fleshing out all the characters. That was the point, again. 10 out of 10. Again, anything lower only means you didn't get it, and you don't understand what makes an amazing film.
