Good move, but disappointing DVD
Being a huge fan of Michael Mann's "Heat", I was really looking forward to this movie. Honestly however, I cannot say it is much better than average to good.What's more disappointing is the bonus material on the DVD. The labeling advertises a production featurette with audio commentary by Al Pacino and Russell Crowe. Given this, I was expecting a running commentary throughout the entire movie, in addition to a featurette---no dice.The featurette is boring studio material to hype up the film, and doesn't have any real substance. The supposed commentary by Al Pacino and Russell Crowe is simply a few short interview clips.I am hopeful that Mann does a commentary on his next DVD film release, as I would love to hear him disect his own work.
