Heat, excellent crime film
Image
Heat continues to shine as one of the indelible masterpieces of modern cinema through its clinical dissection of obsessive men caught in the brutal and seductive dance of cat and mouse.
Under Mann's precise and methodical direction, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro delivered sublime and moving performances of their eternally intertwined fates, nemeses who almost empathise across an unbridgeable divide.
As scorching as the Los Angeles sunshine, Mann's tactile hyperrealism transported the audience into this clandestine and deadly serious world. The huge scenes, from the legendary bank heist to the climactic shootout, remain landmarks.

Val Kilmer, Ashley Judd and the formidable cast brought an indelible humanity to every corner of this gripping underworld, while Elliot Goldenthal's heart-rending score amplified every pulse-pounding moment.
A technical and emotional feat, Heat proved that crime cinema need not choose between visceral emotion and weighty drama. Mann fused the two seamlessly in one of cinema's most obsessive neo-noir milestones.
Simply put, Heat was perfect: a searing, enduring achievement that celebrated the craftsmanship to elevate the genre to the status of art. All who dare should feel its flames.
Nominated for 2 Oscars for Best Cinematography and Best Supporting Actor for Kilmer, in recognition of Mann's technical brilliance and the magnetic performances of the ensemble. A well-deserved accolade.

It grossed $67 million at the domestic box office, a modest figure for an A-list action film, but a strong performance that proves its cultural impact.
It has grossed $187 million worldwide, cementing its status as one of the most profitable and influential crime films in history.
