Heat is known to be one of Michael Mann's masterpiece and in doing a re-review just like I was thinking of some of my older ones I'm going to be redoing just to make them long which is so special to me and all of you guys. Starring a huge amount of cast such as Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Val Kilmer and many more, this is going to be one hell of a ride. Neil McCauley played by Robert De Niro, is a professional thief and he and his crew, Chris Shiherlis, Michael Cheritto, Gilbert Trejo, Waingro who is newly hired, are both set out to rob a million dollars in bearer bonds from an armored car. During the heist, Waingro kills a guard without provocation, forcing the crew to eliminate the other two guards. McCauley prepares to kill Waingro in retaliation for the deaths of the guards, but he escapes. Vincent Hanna played by Al Pacino, and his team investigate the robbery. He has a wife, Justine who he and her had a strained relationship and he struggles to connect with his stepdaughter, Lauren played by Natalie Portman. McCauley however begins a relationship as well with Eady who is a graphic designer. So now the two are going to battle each other to the very end while stop at nothing. I remember seeing Heat at a young age at the right one and in later years back in 2016 since I got an IMDB account and looking at the Top 250 Movies of all time I got pumped. I didn't realise how good the film really is along with the others at that time such as Casino, Se7en, The Thing, The Usual Suspects, L.A. Confidential, American History X and the Alien films. Now I thought I was going to do so by watching it multiple times which I did and it never disappoint. This is what makes a movie so special. It's so impeccable. Seeing Al Pacino and Robert De Niro together in one movie is so mind-blowing. Seeing both two fantastic actors in one movie together is what makes them a duo. I think you'll remember seeing them so young in The Godfather Part II but they never share a scene together but now you see them in here now and next time you'll seeing them again in Righteous Kill and Martin Scorsese's The Irishman. Seeing them for the first time ever in one scene is in the diner scene is what makes the movie so special and you'll know they're bestest best friends for life BTS. Al Pacino is having a blast in this film. His lines is what makes it so memorable, it's crazy. "I'm angry. I'm very angry, Ralph. You know, you can ball my wife if she wants you to. You can lounge around here on her sofa, in her ex-husband's dead-tech, post-modernistic bulls**t house if you want to. But you do not get to watch my f**king television set!" "Why'd I get mixed up with that b***h?" "Cause she's got a GREAT ASS... and you got your head ALL THE WAY UP IT! Ferocious, aren't I? When I think of asses, a woman's ass, something comes out of me." The film however does provides one of the best action scenes in film history even years ago in one morning I'm being told to turn the volume down 'cause they're in bed. Of course I said years ago that the ending chase is thrilling and it sort've reminds me of me staying outside in the dark. Oh, those days. I have no problems with this film, it's so memorable and it's definitely my favorite of the few so here's that. I love everything about this movie, the action scenes, the pacing, the moments of silence even towards the end, just everything no doubt. I love Heat and I love both of these leading actors. Since I have no problem that this is nearly three hours long, I can watch it in one day without a fail like with Casino, Scarface, The Godfather Part I & II, Dances with Wolves, The Wolf of Wall Street and of course, Lawrence of Arabia. This is definitely one of Michael Mann's best films of all time.
