Nothing is more fun than discussing...art. Movies are art, after all. To you, this film is a masterpiece. I really hated it. I think it is the victim of a curious paradox: when you try to be meaningful, you create just the opposite effect.
I fully agree. This movie is just awful. Bad acting, a horrible script, characters that are never credible, and many scenes that belong to a B-movie. And it lasts forever, almost three hours, with an ending that ranks among the worst of all times. The futile attempt to create meaningfulness and depth, ends up creating just the opposite. This flick sucks the energy right out of you, and it takes at least the same amount of time, almost three hours, to recover from this terrible viewing experience. And three beers, at a minimum.
Oh My!! your statements could not be farther from the truth!
That probably explains why you are the outcast here, and so out numbered! Do your research kiddo.
Bad acting?? Do not believe I have ever read a more ridiculous statement in the history of cinema.
I'm afraid I must agree. I watched Heat right after watching Reservoir Dogs, which has become one of my favorite movies, and was expecting it to be an even better movie since it's on the top of many "Top Ten Heist Movie" lists. Yet I was bored the entire time I was watching it. The only good scene in the movie is the heist scene itself, which lasts about ten minutes.The rest is a compilation of awkward writing and awkward acting backed by a stale plot. I find it amazing that Reservoir Dogs manages to be a million times more interesting and exciting than Heat, and you don't even see the heist itself at all!
A bad ending? The ending is amazing, that final showdown between De Niro and Pacino is cinematic gold. This in an intelligent action film, which we don't get often. For me this is Michael Mann's best film.
Well, in his defense, if he though Under Siege was worthy of 100%, I can see how he might not like something like heat. It certainly doesn't have the same artistic merit as Under Siege, after all. ;-)
For those who haven't watched this yet, please don't spare this movie. This "Los Angeles Crime Saga" is simply brilliant. So set the comment by Han S. as crap. It's not even believable to say that comment is even valid. One of the biggest trolls on RT, possibly this guy. How could you even say that the acting is terrible, when Al Pacino meets Robert De Niro in an amazing cops and robbers flick. There's a shootout half way through the movie, and it's truly one of the best in the history of cinema. So blast the volume if you want to experience the realism of the gun fires. I highly recommend this movie, despite of that it's a mere 3 hours long.
Guys, please grow up. You liked the movie, I didn't. That's it. It sounds really stupid and immature to blast somebody else's opinion. How would you like someone to react to something YOU don't like ? Would you appreciate it if that someone would call you an idiot ? In addition, none of you had any part in the production of this flick, we are all just consumers.
I have to say that I am shocked by a score as low as 86% for what is one of the rare...no, almost non existent perfect movies. Let me clarify what I mean by perfect; "Heat" does everything it needs to do when it needs to do it, and absolutely nothing that it doesn't need to do in order to portray the characters and move through the plot. And the astonishing thing is all of this brilliant efficiency is shown with an artful, cold detachment that sets the almost queasy mood and brings you into the "feeling" of these characters tragic lives. So to give a rotten score to such a movie when there is so much garbage out here in movieland is absolutely ridiculous. I will refrain from calling you names for writing the worst review I have ever read but your inability to have bonded with this movie strongly makes me question both your life experiences(lack of)and your intelligence.

i usually entitle people to their own opinion, but no one with a soul could possibly hate this masterpiece, so in summary, you my friend are an idiot

I assume that's why you gave Under Siege a perfect score.
