Probably the greatest film of its type. IMO....it does get better than Michael Mann's 1995 HEAT. Each guy near the top of his game. Tremendous story that is deeper than what is on the surface in so many ways. Greatest gunbattle ever. Pacino, Deniro, Kilmer, Sizemore, Trejo. Mature characters....grown men...not boys. Sizemore's line..." For me...the action is the juice"

Jon Voight was awesome too
And the Black dude from the All State Insurance commercial

One correction, DeNiro is no man, just a whiny pussy.

I wonder how much that guy gets paid to carry DeWhino around?
-
I can still watch DeNiro and Schwarzenegger movies from 20-30 years ago, without mentally connecting them to their current political agendas.

A lot of sensitive snowflakes in this thread whining about someones political leanings. :D :D :D

Ironic, that the media portrayed Deniro as "brave" to put forth his profanity laced tirade. How brave does one have to be to say something like that in front of an entire crowd that agrees with him? Not brave at all, just classless.

just makes one look uneducated when you use the F word and the president.. regardless who the pres is...

Its a good film. Not one as frequently great or "deep" as its fanboys like to pretend. Its certainly iconic, but if I bet if I pressed you to on the spot describe the characters to me beyond their physical characteristics, you'd struggle without running to google to find some shit that fanboys have filled in the blanks after the fact. Its cops and robbers done with a competent director and a great DP, but at the end of the day people remember that film because of a few iconic scenes and because of a gimmick (having de niro and pacino in the same scene) more than they do because it was well written or anything like that. (quite the opposite, Mann's dialogue is clunky. Pacino isn't roaring and chewing scenary because he's an indulgent actor, he's doing it to inject some life into the wooden script)
Mann's best film is definitely Collateral IMO which not coincidentally is also one of the few he got someone else to do the writing. Actually I think its the only film he directed that he didn't also write.
-

This is true.
I have learned to think of them as little more than "talking props".
This allows me to watch and enjoy quality movies without thinking of these assholes in their everyday life thinking and spewing nonsense.

Exactly
Holywood "tough guy" ::)

Midnight Run is also highly underrated. Entertaining movie where Deniro comes off as likable.
-

Classless and uneducated just like Trump. He is so well spoken isn't he?
-

Agreed.
Hard to believe I could get through a movie with both DeNiro and Charles Grodin, but it works well.
Also, a big fan of the late Dennis Farina.
-
Fuck DeNiro.
Glad he’ll soon be dead.

I could name a few, it is a good movie though. Shit, Shawshank Redemption was a better movie.
And you talk about it having "wooden script", as far as dialogue goes it does not get much better than any Tarantino movie. It's amazing how he puts together just the little inane conversations in the movie.
-
It would be better to say that it is one of the best cop/robber movies ever.
I have the fancy two disc DVD and it's very cool.
But it is a long film and I have to be in the mood to watch it.
However, it is one of those films on my list that I tend to watch at least once a year.
-
Never liked him or his acting. Always came across as unlikable in every role and one-dimensional when playing stereotypical Italian-Americans. Possible exception would be in role as a long-haired Vietnam Veteran in Jacknife, but that was more due to Ed Harris's manic insouciance as Dave Flanagan than De Niro's acting, which came off as whiny and self-conscious throughout.

I have a half-chub right now. Gotta love the A1 shorty carbine.
-
The street shootout scene is a go to for testing out 7.1 speakers.
-
I like Mann's "Thief" better, but Heat probably is the best large scale gun fight in cinema history. Peckinpah is the only one that really competes.
.

-
Also, as far as heist films, Kubrick's 1956 "The Killing" is another classic. If anyone's never seen it, there's a nice copy here -

Great movie to watch before bed, special props to Pacino, his hair was immaculate in this film.
-
I also like Mann's Ali film even though I agree with with spike lee that it had the wrong tone
its very reverential befitting one of the greatest boxers of all time and certainly one of our most important and recognisable sporting figures, but its like that the entire film. A bit too dour for a film about a very witty, charismatic and positive man.
one of a very few boxing films where I'm not cringing during the fight scenes because its obvious the actors are absolute novices at boxing. Shooting it like a stunt and having real boxers play the opponents helped the realism a lot.

lol come on not even close
goodfellas, casino, scarface, carlito's way, eastern promises, donnie brasco, road to perdition... these all piss over it effortlessly
lock stock is like the stoner film of the genre in comparison. A fun little distraction and nothing more. Even with the british gangster subgenre i could name better films, such as Sexy Beast.

Lock Stock ;D

Heat is an absolutely ludicrous fantasy. Pacino's character falling in love(in a brotherly way) with an armed robber ,who had gunned down multiple police officers.
Still,I'll watch the shootout ,if the film is ever on though. Very relaxing.
A couple of ex-SAS guys Andy Mcnab and Mike Gould were technical advisors for that scene. Maybe,that's one of the reasons it is so visceral and effective.
-
Jon Voight nailed this scene
-
U know that shootout scene was loosely based upon the LA street shootout with the two guys that had body armor and armor piecing bullets?

Other way round. :D

Other way round. :D
yep
interestingly however, HEAT appears to be loosely based off a real life event and characters: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_(1995_film)#Factual_basis
Luckily for the police, it would appear guys with special forces training or even just infantry training arent into the habit of robbing banks or the downtown hollywood shootout would've ended as badly for the cops irl as it did for the ones in the movie.
-
LA Takedown was Mann's 1st try at a Heat type movie before the actual big budget one -
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3bj4w4 .
Pretty good considering it was an 80's Tv movie.
-
Other way round. :D
oh shoot. My memory is getting bad in my old age. I remember the two being related thanks

Tom Sizemore Hospitalized in Critical Condition After Brain Aneurysm
(https://variety.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/tom-sizemore-hospitalized.jpg?w=681&h=383&crop=1)
Actor Tom Sizemore has been hospitalized after suffering a brain aneurysm. He is currently in critical condition.
Sizemore’s representation confirmed the actor’s health status. His family has been made aware of the circumstances. Things are currently a “wait and see situation,” per Sizemore’s representation.
According to reports, Sizemore was discovered at his Los Angeles home around 2 a.m. and was promptly transferred to a local hospital.
The 61-year-old Sizemore came into his own as a Hollywood actor in the 1990s, building a career out through a variety of tough guy roles in action and drama films. He is likely best known for his performance as Technical Sergeant Mike Horvath in Steven Spielberg’s 1998 war film “Saving Private Ryan,” which was nominated for best picture at the Academy Awards.
After scoring smaller supporting roles in films like “Point Break” and “Wyatt Earp,” Sizemore became a more regular screen presence in ’90s Hollywood, working with directors such as Michael Mann, Martin Scorsese, Peter Hyams, Carl Franklin, Oliver Stone, Ridley Scott and Michael Bay.
Sizemore is also a convicted abuser. In 2017, the actor pled no contest to two charges of domestic violence after being arrested a few months earlier on suspicion of assaulting his partner. In 2003, Sizemore was convicted of domestic violence against his girlfriend at the time, Heidi Fleiss.
In 2005, Sizemore was sentenced to several months in jail after being caught attempting to fake a urine test. In 2007, he was arrested for possession of methamphetamine. Sizemore has been public about his struggles with substance abuse, appearing on “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew” and “Dr. Phil” to discuss his legal troubles.

Tom Sizemore Was Removed From Movie Set for Allegedly Violating 11-Year Old Girl
Actor Tom Sizemore was told to leave a Utah film set in 2003 after an 11-year-old actress told her mother that he had touched her genitals, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. Months later, he returned for reshoots in Malibu after her parents declined to press charges. The incident has never been revealed publicly.
When contacted, the now 26-year-old former actress, whom THR is not identifying at her request, declined to address the matter except to note that she’s recently hired a lawyer to explore legal action against the actor as well as her parents. Sizemore declined to address the situation. “Our position is ‘no comment,'” says his agent Stephen Rice.

One of my favorite actors. He does phenomenal work for a junkie. Hope he pulls through. I will be diverting my funds away from one junkie (Shizzo) and towards another junkie’s (Sizemore) hospital bill.

Striking Distance
Underrated movie and cast
Go up dere!
-

Definitely. A good movie is a good movie.

I must`ve watched Heat about 50 times or so.
-
Jon Voight was awesome too
And the Black dude from the All State Insurance commercial
He really got screwed. Could not catch a break. Felt bad for him.
-

The shootout scene is badass. Zero to 1000 MPH in one second lol!
I also like the scene where Pacino is air dropped from the helicopter into the car on the freeway so he can pull over De Niro.
Heat is a movie that can be watched over and over. Another movie like that is Swayze's Road House. Cult classic! One of the most entertaining movies ever!
