Cameron H @RT23862619 1d Heat is THE OG crime thriller. Stacked cast, filled with climactic, realistic action. I love how it investigates the realistic action of crime heists, while accurately depicting the psychology and emotion behind it all. The soundtrack and music is fantastic! Excellent movie! See more Rowan C @RowanC3 3d Heat is the first heist movie I have ever seen and it did not disappoint. The way this movie was written was great, but it felt slow at times. This movie is based on a true story, with the main bad guy, Neil McCauley (Robert De Niro), and Lieutenant Vincent Hana (Al Pacino), who was willing to do anything to catch him. The action scenes were insane, and the relationship that this heist crew had through all of it was beautiful. Every single actor did such a great job in this movie, especially Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, because they make acting look so casual. I would also like to mention the one-on-one scene with both of them in the restaurant, because that was one of the greatest acting moments I have ever seen. I also liked the detective aspect of the movie, and how the cops were always behind in finding every member of this crew. The crew didn't just have the cops to worry about, but other betrayers as well. Overall, great heist/action movie, and the ending was beautiful.

Nevertheless, the film from a story perspective has a few regretful weaknesses, as well as it's fair share of domestic melodrama. In retrospect, Some 30 years later the impact of HEAT is not the razor sharp action or the heavyweight match of Pacino/DeNiro– it's Mann, and how he does something very existential and Eastern with a very Western movie. Rarely has anyone else made something so eternal out of something so transactional. See more Bilbo B. @NolanEnthusiast Mar 3 Best heist/action movie of all time. The diner conversation, shoot-out scene towards the end, Vincent and the detectives being made by McCauley at the cargo lot, just so many memorable scenes. I also thought I wouldn’t be able to take Pacino seriously in a “good guy” role, but I actually ended up really liking him as a detective and thought it was a cool addition to play a character he’s not know for. Overall, perfect movie 10/10 See more C B @RT03025588 Mar 2 This film is more of a crime drama than a thriller, but it deserves it's reputation as a classic. What I take away from the scenes with the girlfriends and wives is: If a woman wants a relationship with a "bad boy" , whether he is a cop or criminal, things are not going to turn out well in the end. Features one of the best cop vs. criminal shootouts in movie history. I wonder if the Pacino/DeNiro scene in the restaurant was mostly improvised?
