(1995 Director: Michael Mann)! Ashley Judd? Didn't recognize her here! Val Kilmer? Top criminal mastermind McCauley (De Niro) faces off with Homicide Detective (Al Pacino) after pulling off the perfect crime......Director Michael Mann has created about the best suspense crime drama ever in HEAT.
Seeing this movie for maybe the 3rd time tonight (on network TV..no Ion) I still could not leave it......except to simultaneously begin an online chat with my Honeypie! Still, the emotions this crime drama stirs me each time I watch it, gripping my attention & holding it right up until the suspenseful end. There are HUMAN criminals.... quite real, easy to LIKE!
The supporting cast? Jon Voigt who makes their crimes possible, researching all the little details....
On deciding on whether or not to join the NEXT heist (a bank robbery), his ex-con pal (Tommy Sizemore) says,"You know, for me, action is the juice! I'm in."
