Heat
“Cause there is a dead man on the end of this fucking line.”
After watching this and Thief, I’ve concluded Michael Mann really likes his middle aged love stories where she gives up her job and normal life to be with the rich criminal she just met.
In all seriousness though, Michael Mann’s cat and mouse crime thriller in Heat is obviously an absolute masterpiece. Intense from beginning to end, it is also riddled with moments of emotion that in my opinion truly make this a great film.
Pacino v. De Niro. Goat v. Goat. Truly an insane cast full of so many all time great performances. Not a single line delivery that felt forced or wrong, every piece of dialogue is perfectly placed. Honestly, this is probably the best crime drama I’ve ever seen. So glad I finally watched it.
