Affleck gets the ''heat''

Rating: 10/10 (8 September 2011)

First off, before I saw this I expected it to be a big joke being directed by Ben Affleck. I was DEAD WRONG this film is brilliant and its up there alongside Michael Mann's Heat.
The performances are excellent and Oscar worth especially from Affleck, Lively, Renner and the late Pete Postlethwaite. It's a surprise it got only one Oscar nomination because its the best film of 2010, its far better than the overrated King's Speech.
It owes a lot to Heat and Dog Day Afternoon as a bank heist film and has a very similar storyline to Heat. Think what you'll like about Ben Affleck like him or hate him, he's the next Clint Eastwood.
