VHS Movie Reviews of Heat : A Los Angeles Crime Saga
Movie Review: EXCELLENT !!!
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the world's best duo with 2 of the best performances (Robert De Niro and Al Pacino).Movie Review: Great thriller!
Summary: 5 Stars
Some fantastic cinematography & one of the best gunfights I've ever seen!
A really impressive film.
Movie Review: Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Great movie that will become a classic. Deniro and Pacino doesn't get any better than that, especially with all of the other actors involved. I have watched the film many times and will continue to do so.Movie Review: Mann pairs Pacino & DeNiro for some "Heat"
Summary: 5 Stars
After watching DeNiro & Pacino in their most recent outing, "Righteous Kill", I came to appreciate this film even more although they had more screen time in this one than in "Heat", "Heat" is still a crime classic in the Warner Bros tradition. Each character is clearly delinerated and all the situations we see them in are compelling particularly DeNiro's and Pacino's characters--there is never a dull moment in this actioner. The supporting cast of Val Kilmer, Ashley Judd, Diane Venora, Tom Sizemore, and a very young Natalie Portman is excellent and of course Mann's visual style really put us in that mood of doom. Rather than give away any details of the plot, if you're in the mood for a crime saga--check it out!! I can't wait for the Blu-ray to appear someday. Movie Review: Containing one of the best shooting scenes I've ever seen!
Summary: 3 Stars
It contains one of the best shooting scenes I've ever seen! This scene is worth the whole movie. However, the last half is dragging and boring. The acting is interesting.
It's definitely worth watching once.
Summary of Heat : A Los Angeles Crime Saga
Having developed his skill as a master of contemporary crime drama, writer-director Michael Mann displayed every aspect of that mastery in this intelligent, character-driven thriller from 1995, which also marked the first onscreen pairing of Robert De?Niro and Al Pacino. The two great actors had played father and son in the separate time periods of The Godfather, Part?II, but this was the first film in which the pair appeared together, and although their only scene together is brief, it's the riveting fulcrum of this high-tech cops-and-robbers scenario. De?Niro plays a master thief with highly skilled partners (Val Kilmer and Tom Sizemore) whose latest heist draws the attention of Pacino, playing a seasoned Los Angeles detective whose investigation reveals that cop and criminal lead similar lives. Both are so devoted to their professions that their personal lives are a disaster. Pacino's with a wife (Diane Venora) who cheats to avoid the reality of their desolate marriage; De?Niro pays the price for a life with no outside connections; and Kilmer's wife (Ashley Judd) has all but given up hope that her husband will quit his criminal career. These are men obsessed, and as De?Niro and Pacino know, they'll both do whatever's necessary to bring the other down. Mann's brilliant screenplay explores these personal obsessions and sacrifices with absorbing insight, and the tension mounts with some of the most riveting action sequences ever filmed--most notably a daylight siege that turns downtown Los Angeles into a virtual war zone of automatic gunfire. At nearly three hours, the film qualifies as a kind of intimate epic, certain to leave some viewers impatiently waiting for more action, but it's all part of Mann's compelling strategy. Heat is a true rarity: a crime thriller with equal measures of intense excitement and dramatic depth, giving De?Niro and Pacino a prime showcase for their finely matched talents. --Jeff ShannonAction & Adventure Video
