mvie mu-1068182: How could this be anything less than a masterpiece?

Sun, 27 Apr 2008 11:23:50 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Chad9976 - It's a shame "Heat" is not the fantastic crime movie you'd expect it to be. It has so much potential to be an epic and exciting film, especially considering the all-star cast, the director and the premise. But the film is a bit too epic for its own good...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author truckturner - Obsessed, workaholic LA detective Al Pacino trails highly efficient, tight-knit robbers led by smart, detailed Robert De Niro, whose motto is; Never get involved in anything you can’t walk away from in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat coming.

Wed, 15 Feb 2006 23:31:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author eddielancekick - Michael Mann already had a lot of critical acclaim from the 80's hit series "Miami Vice" and more recentley the movies "The Insider" and "Collateral". In the middle of it, the core, is the strongest of them all...HEAT. The plot when laid out on a...

mvie mu-1068182: The Opposite of Camp

Thu, 24 Nov 2005 04:41:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bilavideo - Heat is a very cool flick, precisely because it knows what it's doing. This is not a stupid actioner, with silly over-the-top characters shooting oversized guns between rabbit romps in the woods (with illiterate vixens dressed in daisy-duke shorts)...

mvie mu-1068182: In the "Heat" of the LA Night: Pacino's and De Niro's Magnum Epic

Thu, 8 Jul 2004 14:50:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author NFP - That I put off seeing director and writer Michael Mann's stylized epic 1995 cops 'n robbers film Heat for nine years is a crime for which I have no excuse. After reading this review, you'll have no excuse at all. The film's graceful...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author danielse - If you know of another film as satisfyingly broad as Michael Mann’s Heat, then please tell me now because since seeing it in the cinema I haven’t found anything to touch it. The premise is simple so I’ll give it to you straight...

Fri, 19 Dec 2003 15:51:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hankrum - This is one of those movies where your expectation is built up beforehand to such an extent that when you actually see it, you are bound to be a little bit disappointed. But then, after a couple of days of thinking about what you saw, you begin to...

mvie mu-1068182: 'Cops and Robbers' at its best.

Wed, 28 Aug 2002 22:41:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chediak - An epic is defined as "a long narrative poem, on a grand scale, about the deeds of heroes and warriors." Though certainly not a poem, fans of this movie will see the poetry of director Michael Mann's breathtaking cinematography. How can one make Los...

mvie mu-1068182: I Got Steam Heat

Thu, 3 Jan 2002 23:44:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MrsNormanMaine - This week was, of course, New Years and it was just a tad too eventful for my taste. I was, of course, invited to a major gala function at the Beverly Hills Hotel where I had a few cocktails and traded decorating tips with Esther Williams (fond of tile)...

mvie mu-1068182: Heat - Can you feel it?

Thu, 6 Sep 2001 14:08:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bigmacsc99 - I saw Heat a few months ago, and it was the movie that made me an Al Pacino fan. He and Robert De Niro both shine in this cops and robbers epic.

Though many plot elements are a retread of countless other films, Heat separates...

mvie mu-1068182: Stay in the kitchen.

Fri, 10 Aug 2001 17:12:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author lazybones - Heat is my favourite film of all time. It is a stunning feat of film-making that works on so many levels that I don't know where to start.

De Niro(crook) and Pacino(cop) turn in epic performances as obsessed perfectionists, in a cat and...

mvie mu-1068182: Hottest there is.

Mon, 23 Jul 2001 13:28:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author xgollum - Michael Mann has come a long way since Miami Vice, and to me he will never be any better than this. How he sold the studios on a three hour heist movie I will never know, but I'm grateful to someone.

Bringing Pacino and DeNiro together as a...

mvie mu-1068182: HEAT is red hot

Thu, 5 Jul 2001 03:00:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author rasta_mon - I don't remember how I first heard about this film, and I certainly don't remember when I first saw it. I never saw any previews or trailers for it, never read any articles on it. I have seen it over twenty times on VHS and eventually I bought it on...

mvie mu-1068182: Krista's Heat Opinion

Thu, 31 May 2001 15:58:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kansasgirl12 - The movie “Heat” is possibly the best movies I’ve ever seen. Everything from the cast/acting to the plot to the action scenes to the romance scenes make this one very complete movie about two very opposite (but similar) lifestyles. On the one hand, you...

Tue, 1 May 2001 19:10:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jedigonk - Finally, two great tastes, that taste great together, in one powerful cookie. DeNiro and Pacino on screen with each other for the first time. I wonder who decided which role each would play? The roles are that of a cop (Pacino) and robber (DeNiro)...

Thu, 22 Mar 2001 10:48:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gigagekko - Sitting down to watch this film, I was quite unprepared for what was about to occur. I thought it was just a jazzed up remake of his earlier LA Takedown film (which was damn good). Oh how wrong. With this film, Mann has created a true milestone in film...

Tue, 20 Feb 2001 19:10:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mix-master - Heat is a thriller from 1995 that still shakes me. The all star cast featuring Al Pacino, Robert DeNiro, Ashley Judd, Val Kilmer and much more, creates an atmosphere of excitement. Even though this movie is 5 years old it hasn't lost it's touch. We all...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Jackal1979 - Okay all you really need to know is you got Al Pacino and Robert De Niro on the same screen as foes. That has never happened before these two where in only one other mive together but, they didn't share any scenes, The Godfather II also a cool flick...
