Summary: Sometimes to explain movies "PERFECT" isn't good enough
Review: I use to wonder if there was such a thing as a perfect movie. Well when I saw Heat I found out that there was a movie that was better than perfect. Which makes you think how is that possible. How is that possible? Well I guess when you watch this movie you will understand what I am talking about. The film just grabs you right at the beginning and finally let's you go in the end. I don't think that I could ever think of a storyline for a Brilliant Cop vs. A Criminal Genious. Pacino is the cop and Deniro is the Criminal and with Pacino and Deniro in the same movie you know it has to be really good. Some Sex, High level a coarse language I wouldn't show this movie to a child under the age of 15

Summary: The Standard of the Genre
Review: Few movies depict real life with true suspension of disbelief. The successful rare items do so by engaging you because you feel empathy for one of the characters. Here you can feel for all of them, including the female roles so often secondary to the plot of dramatic violence. Niel (DeNiro) is perfect, even though he will kill in pursuit of his goal it seems as though all his victims are either guilty of greater crimes or police unneccesarily in the way. The supporting crew are honest to their goals and act with conviction. Pacino plays Vincent the cop who comes out worst here. He is true and honest yet unlike Neil, he has no vision, no point to his toil. But he is equally convincing such that he lends weight to the picture. In the end the point comes from Neil (DeNiro). Dedication to the life, sacrifice for the end, and then the ultimate realisation that other things are more important so that he questions all that he has done. In the confusion, revenge clouds his mind for after all he is human. Who doesn't want to be Neil who sees this film! Zone 2 people (England) are robbed of 7 minutes of footage. So buy the U.S. version.

Summary: Intelligent and exciting thriller
Review: Michael Mann has constructed a masterpiece of a cops-and robbers movie in a genre that so often receives the slam-bang approach. While being a little concerned that the movie would be a repeat of his handling of the novel "Red Dragon" - that became the movie "Manhunter", or a big screen "Miami Vice", nothing could be further from the truth. Mann skillfully brings out first rate performances from the lead players: The master thief of De Niro juxtaposed with Pacino's workaholic cop is a masterstroke of casting that works so well. Pacino is delightfully over the top in his portrayal of the dedicated, sacrifice-everything police professional determined to stop the equally professional "crew" headed by De Niro. The crew is wonderfully played by Val Kilmer and Tom Sizemore, with Sizemore in particular giving one of his finest screen performances as the action-seeking professional crook who could, financially, walk away from the life of crime that serves to fuel his adrenaline glands as much as his bank balance. Robert De Niro is outstanding in his portrayal of Neil, the time-served thief: A man determined never to go back behind bars, yet unable or unwilling to pursue any other way of life. The meeting of De Niro and Pacino in the coffee shop scene is a cornerstone to the explosive action sequences that climax with the final bank heist. This has to be one of the all-time greatest actions sequences ever filmed and is a set piece of the movie that will become, undoubtedly, a benchmark for other action movie directors. It out does the car/train chase scene from "The French Connection!" Top marks to Mann for the tight and well-edited screenplay and direction, leaving you wanting more even at the end of three hours. Well worth the money!

Summary: Uber-Perfection
Review: Anyone who actually has a single bad word about this movie should be (David) Lynch-ed. Mike Mann does mind-blowingly good in this 3 hour film. Ever frame is nessessary and not a single second is wasted. Come to think of it, I do have a minor complain but that's only of Natalie Portman not being in more of the film. I recomend this film to anyone with an IQ over 120.

Summary: A Masterpiece!
Review: This has to be one of my favorite movies, if not my very favorite. There is not a person in this movie who does not blow you away with superb acting. Deniro and Pacino have been mentioned several times, but besides them there is the always brilliant Val Kilmer (who once again proves he is the greatest actor of all time), Hank Azaria , Ashley Judd and plenty of others. Everything about this movie is great, but the best thing would either have to be the story or the acting. I don't like cops and robber movies, but there is a really inventive and original story here. See this movie!

Summary: One of the greatest movies of all-time.
Review: Michael Mann must have been a genius to put Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino in the same movie together. You never know who to root for in this film. This film has the biggest shootout of all time in it. It has all the elements that make a film great: action, drama, suspense, comedy, romance. I'd watch it every night if I had the chance. Thanks for reading.

Summary: An epic masterpiece
Review: My favorite film.An epic, a classic, a masterpiece.This film is too good for words.I have to say that Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino deserved more screen time together but it is brilliant to keep you in suspense like that.The ending is really good especially the way the music is involved with it.Just buy it, I loved it, you'll love it, don't be a jabroni and miss out.

Summary: Crime Thriller Epic? You betcha.
Review: After browsing through similar confections of thriller, you begin to realise just how much Heat stands out. The acting is naturally top-drawer, Pacino and DeNiro being backed up by a supporting cast so good you don't realise they're just actors. But above that, the style makes all the difference - brooding shots of the city, character angles that somehow perfectly complement the stars, and some of the best action sequences of the last few years, all the better for their realism. Perhaps overlong for the casual watcher, and certainly not at all original, Heat nevertheless slams you into your chair and fills your mind for an evening. I dare you to stop it to get popcorn.
