Heat
THE Heist Movie
Before watching Heat, I already knew it was a heist movie with big names like Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, but I didn’t expect it to be this good. It’s got everything from crazy action scenes with explosions and gunfights to actually deep characters that feel important to the story. It really feels like it has all the elements that make a great heist movie, and honestly it might be the best all-around heist movie I’ve seen in a long time, maybe even ever.
The only thing that stood out to me was during the bank robbery scene when they’re shooting it out with the police. Val Kilmer’s character Chris just keeps firing and firing and never seems to reload, even though he’s going full Rambo for like five minutes straight. It’s not a huge deal and doesn’t ruin anything, but it did feel kinda unrealistic. Maybe it’s just me who noticed it though. I might have to check some other reviews and see if anyone else thought the same.
