I keep hearing what a great movie this is. Wish I could agree. I remember going to the movie theatre when Heat came out. It was a big deal to see Pacino and DeNiro on the screen together for the first time. And the much awaited scene didn't disappoint.
All these years later, and their respective careers have been filled I with drivel in the interim.
At their age, their casting is a complete misstep for this story. Modern technological advancements in de-aging DeNiro aren't particularly convincing. Furthermore, it's a total snoozefest. First hour is like watching paint dry.
If you can endure the snail paced story telling, you'll eventually discover some tense and suspenseful payoffs in the fourth hour, but geez, it's hard going.
Probably better as a four part mini-series.
