Heat is a brilliantly crafted crime film from writer/director Michael Mann. When a group of professional bank robbers are pursued by a relentless police detective they’re forced to choose between risking it all for one last score or having to walk away with nothing. Full of rich, interesting characters, the script is extraordinarily well-written and is able to interweave several subplots seamlessly. The film also features outstanding performances form an all-star cast that includes Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Val Kilmer, Tom Sizemore, Natalie Portman, Danny Trejo, and Amy Brenneman. And Mann’s directing is phenomenal; as exemplified by the iconic bank shootout sequence, which is incredibly intense and dynamic. Stylized and thrilling, Heat is a compelling and sophisticated crime drama.
