This is a nice cops and robbers cat and mouse movie with an all star cast including Al Pacino, Robert Deniro, Val Kilmer with a terrible ponytail, Tom Sizemore before he was in trouble with the law, the bank clerk from the Dark Knight and some fine ass courtesy of Ashley Judd.
This has been out for over ten years or so, and I remember when it first came out and my dad was watching it. All I ever knew about the movie to be completely honest was that there was a huge gun fight in broad day light in the middle of a busy street.
Said gun fight took place and it was definately cool. Another thing I thought was kind of cool about it was the lack of music during it. A lot of movies will cover up scenes and make them more exciting than they are. (I know this because the movie I am working on is going to be a thousand times more exciting with music over the gun fights to spice up the action)
Anyhow, the acting was very good on behalf of all. Even Val Kilmers ponytail was pretty good in it. Loser.
My only complaint is the movie slows down a lot when they get away from the heists, cops and robbers realizing how similar they are, to go into the lovey dovey relationship stuff. I get it. The good guy and bad guy are both so into their jobs that women come second and look at the trouble it causes and yadda yadda. The best thing to come out of the whole scenario is when Al Pacino catches his bitch with a dude in the house. He says to him no its fine if you wanna plow my woman, sit on my couch in my house, but what you can't do.... IS WATCH MY FUCKING TELEVISION SET! Then he tears his 19 inch Sanyo out of the wall. It was great.
I'd definately recommend checking it out as it has a bunch of good actors, good violence, and a good ponytail. And by good ponytail I mean not good at all

When I was watching Heat, knowing you had a review up here, I thought to myself, "I wonder how long into the review he takes to addresses Val Kilmer's hair."
