HEAT Review

In 1994, Heat, starring Al Pacino, and Robert Deniro opened in the theaters. I went to see it 4 times.

 It's the first time ever in cinema history at this point that Pacino & Deniro had ever shared a scene together. Yes, they were both in Godfather II, but they never had a scene together.

Heat is an all out crime saga that has incredible character development, awesome cinematography, a beautiful musical score, romance, the promise of a better tomorrow that never comes, wonderful acting, and a cast that can only be dreamed of.

This is a rather long film, but the payoff is tremendous.

I'm not going cover the story, other-than to say this is a movie about a cop on the hunt of a master thief. There both good guy's, its just that life has dealt these two men their cards, and they play them for good or bad, because thats all they know how to do.

One of Deniro's lines in the movie that still stays with me today is this.."Never let yourself get atached to nothing you can't walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you spot the heat around the corner." In this brief moment when you hear him deliver these lines you understand his character, and his discipline for his work.

 HEAT.

 Dont worry about renting this one, buy it.
