Heat

This is a movie from 10+ years ago starring Pacino and DeNiro. You’ve probably seen the beginning of it, but being as the film is 3+ hours long, you may not have made it all the way to the end. Honestly, it’s a great film. Lots of action, shooting, fire, shooting, explosions, shooting, glass, shooting, and car chases. Pacino says some of the most hilarious lines in the film industry in the film as well. Some expert bank robbers wind up on the radar screen of Pacino, who is a super-cop specializing in bringing down teams like this. But DeNiro is really good, until he gets mixed up with a lady (they ruin everything, clearly). I thought about writing this review as long as the movie feels so you get the point, but I’m so exhausted after watching it. Just watch it (and call in sick to work the following day because it will still be rolling then).

  1. i've always said it is a good movie too. it's atypical of me to like such a modern day cops & robbers, machismo, shoot-em-up film, but i like Heat. there are cheesy genre parts like the scene where pacino is trailing deniro towards the airport, and that bad "vice music" is playing, but i can look past those parts with this film.
