What's happened to Ciao's formatting? Three times I've tried to insert line breaks to separate my paragraphs, and three times it's come back looking like I can't write properly. I tried creating indents instead, and it ignore those too.

If anyone watching Heat for the first time gets a distinct feeling that history is repeating itself, they are not imagining things. The original screenplay was used for a film called L.A Takedown a few years earlier. Having seen both, I can vouch for the fact that whole chunks of the script are identical.
Heat has been expanded upon to become a much more heavyweight and longer offering, with the characters of the two main antagonists, De Niro and Pacino much more highly developed.
The staging of the violence leaves you breathless, with the foiled bank raid at the centre of things. Apparently, everyone had special training in making it look like they can handle an automatic weapon, and it's difficult to imagine that they were only firing blanks.
The film was hugely successful, and deserves it on several fronts.
The first pairing of Pacino and De Niro. The non-stop action, enhanced by the incidental music, especially throughout the bank raid.
I saw it at the movies, bought the VHS tape, upgraded to DVD, bought it on DVD - I guess this means I liked it!
Two enthusiastic thumbs up!
