      • Jun 21, 2018

        Masterful direction, pulsating action and thrills and key performances from Pacino and De Niro, Heat is a landmark 90s film that redefines the crime/drama genre and is visibly inspiring for modern-day films that replicate its grandeur. 4.35/5

        So thoroughly engrossing and entertaining you might have to pause the video to catch your breath, even during somber dialogue, which is no mean feat for a three hour long film. A cast and crew of this caliber may never come together ever again quite as stylishly and potently as in Heat.

        Heat is a brilliantly crafted crime film from writer/director Michael Mann. When a group of professional bank robbers are pursued by a relentless police detective, they're forced to choose between risking it all for one last score or having to walk away with nothing. Full of rich, interesting characters, the script is extraordinarily well-written and is able to interweave several subplots seamlessly. The film also features outstanding performances form an all-star cast that includes Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Val Kilmer, Tom Sizemore, Natalie Portman, Danny Trejo, and Amy Brenneman. And Mann's directing is phenomenal; as exemplified by the iconic bank shootout sequence, which is incredibly intense and dynamic. Stylized and thrilling, Heat is a compelling and sophisticated crime drama.
