The Heat is On!
2 of 5 people found this review helpful.
This is a great movie with Al Pachino and Robert De Niro. One is a cop and the other is a thief. In a few of the shots where Al Pachino and Robert De Niro are sitting together, you will notice they shot the movie from their view only and that is because they couldn't get the two actors together at the same time to shoot those particular scenes. Great action. A good movie to add to your collection.

Deniro and Pacino at their finestReview created: 06/18/08
by:
This movie is a classic with great acting, location, screenwriting and directing. A definite must for any essential collection. With the craze of the the Grand Theft Auto video game series, I can't help but think they got some of their inspiration from this movie. A must buy.

One of the best movies you'll ever watch.Review created: 03/22/08

I love this movie. The actors the plot, the direction, everything is flawlwss.I can hardly put it into words. You gotta see for yourself. The downtown shootout is a scene for the records, it's so intense you don't realize how long it actually was. It's the first movie I couldn't decided rather to root for the good guys or the bad guys. The actors give dept and personality to the charaters so that you actually like them and relate to them. This is by far one of my favorite movies of all time. I think one of the best ever made and I can't wait for the Blu-Ray version.

Heat: a dissection of the lives of the law & lawlessReview created: 06/03/07(updated 06/04/07)
by:
Arguably the apex of director Michael Mann's vast resume, Heat is the ultimate cops vs. robbers epic that brings together two of the world's greatest actors: Al Pacino & Robert de Niro. Seasoned cop Lt. Vincent Hanna (Pacino) finds himself pitted against cunning adversary Neil McCauley (de Niro), a master thief who takes down scores. High caliber performances also come from Val Kilmer, Tom Sizemore, Jon Voight, Natalie Portman, Ashley Judd & Ted Levine to name a few. Though the film clocks in shy of 3 hours, it's impossible not to be fixated by the meticulously crafted characters throughout (not to mention one of the most spectacular shootouts ever filmed). With a Shakespearean undertone, Mann's Heat is a genius character study that depicts the tragic personal & professional tolls shared between both sides of the law.

Shopping for great DVD's on e-bayReview created: 01/02/07

It's one of my favorite all time movies, with DeNiro, and Pacino, how could you go wrong...I ordered it on e-bay, and it was in my mailbox within the week!!!! What an awesome deal, plus, I couldn't find it any cheaper in any video store here in town. It was brand new, still in the plastic wrapping, and in great shape when it was shipped. the person I bought it from is one of my favorite spots to shop now.

Pacino and Deniro CollideReview created: 11/15/06
by:
This was what I'd been waiting for-Al Pacino and Robert Deniro in the same flick. Sure, they were both in the Godfather Part II together, but never at the same time. Very good movie, not quite classic status because of its predictability, but very good nonetheless. All-Star cast with Pacino, Deniro, Val Kilmer, Jon Voight, and Tom Sizemore who steals a lot of the scenes. The movie has an excellent story, with Deniro being the bad guy thief who you kind of cheer for; and Pacino who's the cop chasing after him, who at the same time you kind of cheer for. It just seemed like to me that I knew almost everything that was going to happen before it happened. But the bank robbing and chase scenes that follow are some of the coolest in cinema history. Reminds me of the standoff between the 2 real-life bank robbers who held up a bank in L. A. a few years back wearing body armor. Just for that it gets a firm 4 1/2 in my book, but not quite classic status.

Heat: "...A couple of regular fellows..."Review created: 04/12/01

"We re sittin here like a couple of regular fellows you do what you do, and I do what I gotta do..." ...Those "couple of regular fellows" are Vincent Hanna (played by Al Pacino), a brilliant Detective Lieutenant with the Los Angeles Police Department; and Neil McCauley (played by Robert DeNiro), an equally brilliant leader of a gang of professional hold-up men. These are the two main characters in Heat, a fabulously acted, written, and directed police drama released in 1995. Billed as "A Los Angeles Crime saga," Heat is one of the finest crime dramas to come out of Hollywood in a long time!...

In the "Heat" of the LA Night: Pacino's and De Niro's Magnum EpicReview created: 07/08/04

Pros:
Ensemble acting by an all-star cast featuring Pacino and De Niro, direction, script, cinematography, atmosphere.

That I put off seeing director and writer Michael Mann's stylized epic 1995 cops 'n robbers film Heat for nine years is a crime for which I have no excuse. After reading this review, you'll have no excuse at all. The film's graceful story arc, subtly textured ensemble performances, and a clever mix of classic gumshoe, John Woo-styled action climaxes, taut script, and stand alone set pieces make it a model of the modern cops 'n robbers genre. Atmospherically, the neon-lit blind alleys of both the protagonists' minds and the City of Angels are dark, forbidding and foreboding places. Yet there's.

Heat is a very cool flick, precisely because it knows what it's doing. This is not a stupid actioner, with silly over-the-top characters shooting oversized guns between rabbit romps in the woods (with illiterate vixens dressed in daisy-duke shorts). It's an action-packed drama about cops and robbers - and the "heat" that impels them in pursuit of the chase. This 1995 film from writer-director Michael Mann comes tightly packed with talent. Look for Al Pacino, Robert DeNiro, Val Kilmer, Jon Voight, Tom Sizemore, Ashley Judd, Diane Venora, William Fichtner, Amy Brenneman, Hank Azaria, Dennis...

Heat (1995) Director Michael Mann's crime thriller "Heat" is the story of two men, outlaw Robert DeNiro and good guy Al Pacino. DeNiro plays "Neil". a career criminal who specializes in "scores", big robberies. Pacino is on the other side of the law, as cop "Vince Hanna". The movie is significantly different than most cops 'n' robber films for the character development that builds throughout the movie, not just for the main characters, but also for the supporting cast. You see the parallel lives of Neil and Vince; both are highly successful in their chosen professions, but their personal...

Heat (1995) is a near great cops and robbers movie. Al Pacino plays the main cop and Robert De Niro the main robber. The movie begins with De Niro and his gang with great violence attacking and looting an armored car. Pacino, as the homicide detective in charge of the case, is much impressed with the professionalism of the theft. Pacino is hell-bent to catch this highly skilled band of brigands who toward the end of the film rob a city bank of millions in a finely-tuned bloody shoot out. One of the weak points early in the movie is when these professionals botch up the killing of one their...
