Heat

Too long. And Pacino hams it up every which way (as he will do from time to time). DeNiro is suitably DeNiro-esque, but...the scene in the coffee shop where they confront each other played like two legends appearing on the same talk show. The whole thing looked like some prank.

Gritty and ruthless action coupled with a poignant study of how man's life can be consumed by his work, his duty, and/or his principles, and how that affects the people he loves. All of the characters are rich and compelling, and they're played by a fantastic group of actors. I loved the way Mann photographed L.A. in "Collateral" and likewise here. All in all, one of the most satisfying crime/action films I've seen.

Slick movie.

An intelligent and very different cops and robbers film. Excellent acting from all people involved with some of the most amazing action scenes you will ever see (the street shootout remains one of the most intense gunfights I have ever seen).

A good action movie and not much more. It can get a little boring, a little tacky, but it's worth watching.
