Heat - Pacino/De Niro

[Rod Stroker]

Googled Heat and Coffee and came up with one of the most epic confrontations in cinematic history.

First time that they were ever in a scene together. And what a scene!

In my top 10 all time fave movies.

You want adrenaline? Just watched Den of Thieves, was available for just $2 on iTunes over the weekend. Opening scene reminded me of Heat.

I remember at the time the hype going into overdrive with the pair of them teaming up again.

It was the first time that they had ever appeared on screen together, despite them both being in The Godfather II.

Correct.

Damn you are in for a treat. Hasnt at all aged. If it wasnt an epic 3 marathon, I would be watching again and again more regularly.

In fact Im going to watch it again soon because of this thread.

I was thinking the exact same thing yesterday. It was made in 1995 making it 23 years old, yet it's amazingly awesome, ''modern '' and pisses over the s**t they make these days.

Top quality.

The first time I watched it I remember how engrossing that conversation was with the intensity pulling you in and you could cut the tension with a knife. The acting was immense and De Niro ever so edgy. It doesn't have the same affect watching it after the first, now I just love the banter exchanged and their interaction and different lives they live. It's an epic scene however and one of my favourites of all movies.

who. who. what are you, a ******* owl ?

Ive seen some great bank robberies over my time in movies.

This was an epic saga, it never ended and was brilliantly executed.

I wont spoil it for the newbies, but listen to the first 5s of this clip. Music is spine tingling.

If that happened in real life there would be a lot of recriminations for turning a bank robbery into a war zone.

The heist gun battle was great

Correct.

Its a timeless masterpiece. I may need to watch it again but off the top of my head I cant remember seeing anything that made the movie look or feel dated.

Seriously very few movies since then could be considered on par with this one. The Departed, being one of them.

Don't forget the reunion next year in The Irishman

*en gold. I love the bluntness of De Niro also and the pondering on the chef's part. Thought long hard about it. Love De Niro's straight up no bullshit approach to everything in the movie too. He knows exactly what he wants and doesn't stand for bullshit.


Legend both in the movie, and out if it.

The great ability of De Niro is that I have loved him in comedies as well. If anything movies like Heat and that his contrasting work in comedies makes me respect him so much more compared to any other actor given his diverse acting ability.

Vincent Hanna: You know, we are sitting here, you and I, like a couple of regular fellas. You do what you do, and I do what I gotta do. And now that we've been face to face, if I'm there and I gotta put you away, I won't like it. But I tell you, if it's between you and some poor bastard whose wife you're gonna turn into a widow, brother, you are going down.

Neil McCauley: There is a flip side to that coin. What if you do got me boxed in and I gotta put you down? Cause no matter what, you will not get in my way. We've been face to face, yeah. But I will not hesitate. Not for a second ''



One of the best scene's ever made in Movie history. Great, intense convo also. Love the above.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

The Departed?

Heat overrated for mine. I love Pacino and De Niro but for me they only part of the movie worth watching was the robbery scene and the gunfight through the streets. The rest of it was a bit of a wank, I remember at the time the hype going into overdrive with the pair of them teaming up again.

Though it way overrated, dialogue was laughable in parts, typical of many Michael Mann movies. 3 hours was mind numbingly too long.

Casino which was out at same time was better

Not really, more like a dialogue heavy Gilmore Girls scene with testosterone.

One of the most unlikely conversations I'd be expecting between a crook and a cop.

This Boys Life is an underrated De Niro performance as is The King of Comedy.

Amazing actor (once), s**t human being.

 

[spinynorman]

s**t human being? That seems harsh!

I like Heat without loving it. It certainly has ambitions to be a grandiose American crime epic, and the casting shows that. Unfortunately (and I seem to be the minority on this), Pacino just seems woefully off tone in this movie. I love him as an actor, but I truly don’t get the praise for him in this, it feels like he is in a different film from everyone else and badly jars.

The Insider is Mann’s best film, for mine.

 

[Len Nicodemo]

Wayngro has to be one of the biggest campaigners in movie history yeah

*, how good is Waingro? Such a pig

 

[GROTTO]

****, how good is Waingro? Such a pig

Sent chills down my spine when he delivered this quote to the hooker.

"you don't know what this is, do you.....the grim reaper is visiting with you."

Yeah he was a piece. What about the bit where they’re in the diner and he offers up pie? Right after he stuffed up in the robbery? The look Val Kilmer gives is great. It’s slmost like ‘mate, you serious? I HATE apple pie!’

 

[Roobs321]

Thief is by far Mann's best for mine. Heat & The Insider are both stellar, his next best.

 

[GlocksTickin]

What the * is that? Barbecues and Ball games?





you can get killed, WALKING YOUR DOGGY!

 

[bourbons]

Nah better than Heat is that Di Caprio Matt Damon Jack Nicholson gangster-cop film.

You sir are a legit crazy person

The Departed is not fit to carry Heat's boots.

As others have mentioned, yeah the hiest scene in the city is nuts. One of the things that always struck me about that scene is the sound design, the gunfire reverbing off the buildings in (I assume) a realistic fashion. Can't recall any other movie shootouts doing it that way.

Mike Smyth is a Trump enthusiast, I'm guessing that's the cause of his dislike towards noted Trump critic Robert DeNiro.
