Nolan delved into the duality of the film's lead characters, and questioned both De Niro and Pacino regarding how they reconciled the differences between Lt. This is horrible and naturally I loved it.THR reports that Christopher Nolan recently hosted a Q&A session after a screening of Heat, during which Michael Mann, Robert De Niro and Al Pacino himself joined him on stage. The world is not merely turned upside down and inside out but shot so full of holes it's turned into a giant cheese grater. that lasts for about 20 minutes and is, without doubt, the most gripping action sequence in an American movie this year. It's a machine gun-o-rama in downtown L.A. It's crime story as told by Jane Austen on steroids: A panoramic but intimate view of the social tapestry that ensnares a whole world in a bitter net of cause and effect.Īll this leads to the bank heist itself, which is a creation of the universe gone psychopathic. Through this central situation Mann threads a dozen other tales: Kilmer's addiction to gambling and his tough but duplicitous wife (Ashley Judd) a counterplot by a scuzz named Waingro (Kevin Gage) to take down De Niro at the behest of one of De Niro's larceny victims Pacino's shredded home life with Diane Venora and step-daughter Natalie Portman De Niro's love affair with Amy Brenneman, and on and on and on. He shouts, his eyes bulge, he can't keep his hands off people. He dresses like a gangster, too, favoring black silk shirts, a flashy handgun with ivory grips, Italian suits, new age sunglasses. One of Mann's little jokes is that each appears to be in the wrong profession: Pacino's Vincent is flamboyant, incoherent, just barely in control, his emotional life a mess.
Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino) and pro bad boy Neil McCauley (Robert De Niro). The two studboys at the top of twin pyramids of the robbery-homicide detail and the armed robbery crews are Lt.
It's a good idea to build a movie on, but, despite all the shattered glass and ejected cartridge casings, about as convincing as a cancer cure from Oreo cookies. At the same time, the guy's an idiot: He loves (and over-inflates) the sense of camaraderie that he imagines is felt between the best cops and the best robbers, and bases his long and violent heist film on the conceit of mutual respect and even affection between them, sentimentalizing it into a kind of caramelized apple of macho romance.
