A master piece. Amazing and so well made. A semi-classic I only saw because of Natalie Portman but I couldn't be more in love for the movie. The best action movie I ever saw.

''I do what I do best, I take scores. You do what you do best, try to stop guys like me.'' A Los Angeles crime saga, "Heat" focuses on the lives of two men on opposite sides of the law - one a detective; the other a thief. Al Pacino: Lt. Vincent Hanna Robert De Niro: Neil McCauley Classic Michael Mann cat and mouse drama. From a professional thief and an equally determined cop. Pacino as the cop with more snazz than any other man, every time this guy opens his mouth with his one liners or bellows his stuff you gotta marvel and watch and De Niro as the crook is a no nonsense, intelligent, stern professional who's the perfect accompaniment to Pacino, notice a young Val Kilmer & Ashley Judd too, not to mention Jon Voight, Natalie Portman and Tom Sizemore who give rock soli...Read more

"You know, we are sitting here, you and I, like a couple of regular fellas. You do what you do, and I do what I gotta do. And now that we've been face to face, if I'm there and I gotta put you away, I won't like it. But I tell you, if it's between you and some poor bastard whose wife you're gonna turn into a widow, brother, you are going down." Heat was an outstanding and enthralling film that delivers emotions that continue to intrigue the viewer long after the film comes to its final conclusion. It is a rare film that should not be missed for any occasion; exciting and compelling from the moment it begins. Robert De Niro is Neil McCauley, an expert in his area. He happens to be a thief and an exceptional one too. He finds himself and his crew being chased down by Detective Vincent ...Read more

"He knew the risks, he didn't have to be there. It rains... you get wet." Heat is an absolutely stunning film; this epic, brilliant crime drama is unmissable and unforgettable. Many will lose interest due to the film's length, but I found the film essentially perfect despite the running time. First of all, Robert De Niro and Al Pacino in the same movie. These are two of the best actors on the planet, and both are in top form. The script (written by director Mann) is nothing short of remarkable. The dialogue is always witty, realistic, and is never contrived. The actors further cement this realism in an amazing way. Mann's direction for every second of the movie was stunning. The way Mann approached this movie was destined to equal excellence. First of all, he penned the damn...Read more

This film is spectacular. For me, Pacino steals the show, I actually see why he gets so much adulation as an actor. De Niro just seems to coast through, being dead pan and cunning throughout. I don't see how the ending was lame at all. It was pretty obvious what was going to happen from the outset, either Pacino would 'win' or they'd wipe each other out. Both characters were fantastic at their respective jobs, but De Niro let himself down by ignoring his own usual rules and going after that guy, despite promising he wouldn't. You knew he was doomed from then on. Contrary to being a waste, I thought the last twenty minutes were amazing, and the very final scene near the runway was just beautiful. On top of that there is the heist scene, with Mann's trademark heavy calibur machine guns g...Read more

i don't know if it is that an American made this movie, but this movie which is amazing need a different ending. the last 20 minutes are just a waste. why not let the bad guy win, or at least get away? open ending, might be french, but after setting up De Niro's character all through the movie and that this kind of lame ending is just not right.
