H E A T is one of the greatest movies ever made. You put two excellent actors together to face off in a movie with well direction from a very good director, and you get this movie. I swear that the three hours go by so quick ever time you watch it. Quoting from my good friend, Jerry, "This movie cannot be explained as one genre. It has everything in it. Action, drama, suspense, romance, comedy, you name it." What he means really is that this movie is one of a kind. I do not think any movie today can compare to how great this one is. All the acting is terrific, especially Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. Michael Mann took down this score that made it in my top 5.(10 out of 10 stars)
