Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/18/25 Full Review Audience Member Good movie. It had me immersed from start to finish. It is long, but I didn't mind that. Excited and thrilling movie with a stacked cast. Pacino is really good in this. Quality movie. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/13/25 Full Review Nano N Pacino is so intense and when he freaks out-look out. He could make the average suspect admit to anything. DeNiro knows his role like he lives it and does not seem willing to stretch his performance. Terrific gritty crime film. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/11/25 Full Review Jeremi B Heat impressionne par son casting de haut niveau, mais ce qui le rend encore plus remarquable, c’est l’équilibre parfait entre ses acteurs. Chaque rôle est interprété avec justesse, sans que cela paraisse trop chargé ou compétitif, ce qui arrive parfois avec une brochette de grands noms. Le face-à-face entre Al Pacino et Robert De Niro est tout simplement magistral. Leur jeu d’acteur est fascinant, et j’ai été captivé jusqu’à la fin, sans jamais pouvoir deviner où l’histoire allait nous mener. Voir chaque côté de la médaille et ne pas savoir où placer son allégeance est l’une des grandes forces du film. Seul bémol pour moi : la fin. Avec tant de panache tout au long du film, j’attendais une conclusion à la hauteur, mais elle m’a laissé un goût un peu amer. Malgré cela, Heat reste une expérience immersive et intense, portée par des performances mémorables et une tension constante. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/08/25 Full Review Jas A Mann’s signature is all over Heat: the moody visuals, the slick shootouts, the icy urban sprawl. He absolutely nails the action — the downtown Los Angeles gun battle remains one of the most thrilling shootout scenes ever put on film. But outside of that standout moment, the film is weighed down by tired tropes and wooden dialogue. The story leans heavily on clichés that felt worn out even by the '80s, let alone in 1995. We get the overworked cop whose dedication has cost him multiple marriages. The wife who’s tired of “sharing him with the streets.” The brooding criminal looking for one last score before vanishing into the sunset. The double-crossing rich guy. The doomed best friend with a crippling vice. It’s all there — a checklist of genre standards that offers little in the way of originality or surprise. What’s more, the dialogue is flat and forgettable, dragging down already familiar character beats. There’s little suspense in the heist setup or planning; instead, we’re treated to long, drawn-out scenes of strained relationships and existential angst. Heat often feels like a drama about middle-aged men mumbling about their lives, occasionally interrupted by brilliant bursts of gunfire. If you’re curious, skip to the iconic shootout — it’s the one element that fully justifies the film’s reputation. The rest, unfortunately, doesn’t live up to the hype.
