LINK: Heat FULL REACTION

Heat is a quintessential 90s film that still holds up today. Al Pacino and Robert De Niro deliver powerhouse performances as Vincent Hanna (Pacino), the relentless LAPD detective, and Neil McCauley (De Niro), the disciplined career criminal. Their characters are intricately woven together, revealing unexpected similarities beneath their opposing roles. The stellar ensemble cast, featuring talents like Val Kilmer, Tom Sizemore, Natalie Portman, Ashley Judd, and Jon Voight, further enriches the film's depth.

The iconic scene between De Niro and Pacino in the diner exemplifies the film's brilliance, showcasing a rare moment of civil conversation between the antagonist and the protagonist. It's a testament to the film's ability to delve into the complexities of its characters in just a few minutes.

Heat does a great job of exploring themes of loyalty, and morality. The characters are multifaceted, grappling with inner demons, marital issues, and moral dilemmas as they navigate a world rife with violence and betrayal. While some character arcs, like Natalie Portman's, feel somewhat rushed, the overall impact of the film remains undiminished. Highly recommend this film if you haven't seen it.

I’m so excited to see more dramas like this on the channel. This is such a classic and I enjoyed seeing your reactions! I think Natalie Portman’s character was in the background so when it gets to the scene where Vincent finds her in the bathtub you’re just as shocked and horrified as he is. Because like Vincent and Justine, we’ve been so wrapped up in their relationship drama and Vincent’s work that we overlook the signs that this kid is in distress. Taking people for granted is something any of us could do going about our daily lives and we don’t always see when the people we care about are hurting, and unfortunately sometimes that knowledge comes too late. Thankfully, that wasn’t the case in Heat and her life was saved. That’s just my take. 😊 I can understand how you would feel that her story isn’t rounded off to the best of its ability. Thanks for sharing another great film with us!

Ted Levine was in Monk too - he played Captain Stottlemeyer. If you guys haven’t seen Monk, it’s a great show.
