Customer Reviews of Heat
Fabulous fabulous movie ... terrible terrible DVD .... I had bought this dvd some time ago but never had a chance to watch the movie. OK so with heavy hitting stars like De Niro, Pacino, Val Kilmer and Jon Voigt, I should expect no less than perfection and that is exactly what I got.
This fast paced action thriller was so intense that I even had to use the pause button to get a cold beer, something I usually do not do with a lot of the other movie fare around today ....
With so many great and concise reviews on this site theres no sense in being repetitive but, the presentation of the LA cop, Pacino and his wife and stepdaughter was, hands down, the absolute best depiction of that conflict that always exists with cops that are married to their jobs. All cop and robber movies usually touch on the subject but usually fail to display the gut wrenching emotions and conflicts as this movie does.
One thing that BUMMED me out completely..... I mean the wide screen aspect comes out as a letterbox in wide screen on this DVD. Hey, cmon guys couldn't you have cut the DVD to cover the full screen I though that when I bought my big screen TV I would not have to suffed through those darned letterbox movies any more.... On the same note the sound tracks, dolby digital sounded a little on the lame side as well ....
Normally I would have knocked some stars off my reveiw because of the quality of the DVD but this action packed thirller is worth every buck.

This crime story contains one of the best scenes in movie history. Al Pacino sits down in a coffee shop and chats with Robert De Niro. One is an eccentric detective and the other a ruthless criminal. They talk about what they do for a living and how it effects them. It's a tense and dramatic moment and you have to wonder if the actors are actually talking about their character's lives or their very own. "Heat" is one of the most underrated crime/heist movies of the genre. It has extravagent action scenes, solid performances and cameos (Hank Azaria,Tone Loc,Natalie Portman) and an engrossing plot. My only complaint is the tacked-on ending which seems to belong in a B-movie. Warner Bros. did only an okay job bringing it to DVD so be warned. It's missing some of the special features we have come to expect (director's commentary, deleted scenes, etc). Michael Mann did an admirable job of showing the exploits of professional bank robbers and the detectives who chase them. It's rumored that one of the advisors to the film was one of the bank robbers who was later killed in the infamous North Hollywood Shootout in 1997. Enticed enough now? This is an action movie with class...buy it!
fantastic
this movie has some of the best acting i've ever seen. the plot is great and the action scenes are also great. the dvd i'm reviewing now lacks extras, but a special edition is supposed to come out later this year. some might not like it being three hours, but i think the three hours i spent watching were well worth it.
