It's on right now.

One of my favorite movies...

DeNiro, Pachino, Voight, Kilmer, Sizemore and Dennis Heybert as the get-away man.

Awesome movie. All the way awesome movie.

Are there any black people in it? I don't watch movies with blacks in them... unless of course they're working the fields.

Wha?? This movie has the quintessential gun fight sequence in any movie ever made. The downtown LA gunfight with the shots ricocheting off the buildings is one of the best sequences to test a sound system too =)

Plus the movie is pretty damn good.

Yes, the shootout is probably the best I've seen in a movie.

My favorite Mann film next to Thief with James Cann. Mann is to be commended for really getting the tactics down in his action films, and paying attention to the small things.

He also offers excellent commentary tracks on many of the DVDs.

P.S. Waingro makes for an awesome sleazy bad guy.

Tthe movie (apparently the shootout thing) inspired the real life events that happened in L.A during a bank robbery, two guys in full level 5 body armor armed with AK-47's and tons of ammo had a shootout with LAPD for a couple of hours. The LAPD was unable to do anything due to their shitty weapons and lack of range against the much more powerful and longer ranged Kalashnikov's, towards the end the LAPD broke into a gun store and took some AK's to match up with firepower and distance.

Contains the best relation advice ever given in a movie.

Ronin is a really amazing movie in that genre as well.

Yea I remember that, amazing no one was killed with that many rounds fired.

2 greatest actors of their generation have a scene together for first time. Definitely worth checking out.

One of my all time favourite movies

Heat is one of my top ten easily. Another kick ass Michael Mann film. Even in his less than stellar movies like Kingdom and Miami Vice the action scenes are kick ass and realistic.
