Heat (1995) is a GREAT movie

[UnQuantized]

They wanted these guys so bad to be in a scene together, they said ... fukk it, just let them have coffee

It's a good scene in the context of the film. Throughout the film they are in this constant cat and mouse chase, the tension builds and builds, then they take a moment to acknowledge each other. It's about two men with similar characteristics but different fates.

Without explaining the context of the coffee shop scene, just as a 7 minute showcase of acting, it's incredible. You rarely see that in movies today. The expressions, the tone, writing, the music. It's maybe my favorite scene of pure acting ever. So much backstory and layers in a quick conversation, not a lot of exposition, it's all in the delivery and the words.

the subtle ways their expressions showcase what they are saying. Pacino's subtle understanding and approval when he says "I tell her I'm a salesman", De Niro's laughs almost with just a quick smile at the end, acknowledging the weight of the moment, and it's unusualness. To tell the person you will kill them, but like them anyway.

Now, the movie would have flashbacks, in quickly edited shots of their past traumas or something like that, or a quick edit of one of them trying to fall asleep or something lol

Learning their credo and code helped the story telling a LOT too. Made their face off at the end hold more weight

Mann wants to do it. There's a novel already out which I've heard is pretty good but I haven't read it myself

Excellent film. Most of the cast did their role perfectly. 90s were loaded with so many amazing films. I mean the same year 95 you had not only Heat, but Usual Suspects as well which was another film with excellent acting. 12 Monkeys, Se7en, Braveheart, Casino, Toy Story. Even Die Hard 3 being a really really solid movie.

Actors like De Niro, Bruce Willis, Brad Pitt doing two outstanding films in one year basically.

You'd be lucky to have couple of such great films today in one year. And back then you could make a strong top 10 of movies from one year.

Easily one of the best shootout scenes in movie history.
Val Kilmer and De Niro did their part the best in those shootouts.

It's #1. Some of the John woo shyt is up there like the hospital shootout in hard boiled


And some modern shyt like, honestly I think John wick is borderline UNAPPRECIATED for how good the action is. We love it, but those 4 truly elevated gun fu.

Los Angeles was really on that bank robbery shyt in the early to mid 90s
