Heat
by Scott Neufville
Super
I really dug this movie!
As far as I'm concerned, this flick became an instant classic of
the “hold up” genre when it was released in 1995 because of its
gritty realism in depicting the high-tech criminal underworld.
Plus, the film reunites two Italian-American legends of the mob
film genre, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, for the first time since they
made their breakthroughs in the 1972 classic, The Godfather.
Pacino and De Niro don't disappoint as they both do
what they do best, while supported by an all-star cast and special
effects that pulls their own weight in a film that has, what I consider,
the most intense and realistic downtown shoot out scene ever!
But don't get me wrong.
The action in Heat does not drown out its drama; in fact
it intensifies it. I
confess to moments of sadness and joy that nearly touched me as much as
those moments of bloodshed and fear.
But those moments often came too close for comfort.
Only 3-D glasses could have made it worse.
