In 1995, moviegoers and Godfather geeks were lining up to see Al Pacino and Robert De Niro share the screen for the first time ever in the crime epic Heat. They might not have realized that in the 3 hour running time, they're together for maybe 3 minutes! But OMG... those 3 minutes were riveting! Even the other 2 hours and 57 minutes of it were pretty intense. Crazy shootouts, double-crosses and heists, dysfunctional relationships, and a hopped-up live wire Al Pacino shouting at everyone he meets. But when he finally gets face-to-face with De Niro, they chat over coffee. Really. That's the big hoo-ha: a quiet conversation. What do they say? "Say hello to my little friend!" "You talkin' to me?" "You're out of order!" "Little bit...". Well, thankfully it's a lot better than that! This is probably Michael Mann's greatest work. Crockett & Tubbs wish they were this cool. Colorful clothing and Jan Hammer keytar solos ain't gonna cut it. Get ready to feel some heat!
