“There is a flip side to that coin.” Mann’s LA action epic—a remake of Mann’s 1989 never-picked-up TV pilot L.A. Takedown—stars Robert De Niro as a career thief and Al Pacino as the detective long on his trail. A masterpiece of mood and atmosphere, punctuated by brilliant action sequences, including one of the most elaborately choreographed and realistic heists in American film, Heat is among the very best Hollywood films of the 1990s.
