Favorite scenes: The final gunplay in Heat
One of the best shoot-out scenes in film history. I seriously can’t remember anything else in the movie, partly because the rest of the movie was mediocre and partly because this scene is so outstanding. The scene doesn’t have anything in particular that propels the whole scene towards greatness. However, the sheer length and the photographic realism provide an experience unlike any other.
Another thing to notice is the acting. I understand that acting has little to do with a scene that is all action but none of these characters/ actors express any over-the-top expression. There simply isn’t any time to think or feel, it is all business.

‘the rest of the film was mediocre’??!! whoa.
This is among the best 5 films i’ve
seen. and i’ve seen a lot. Maybe it’s just not
your type of flick. But it’s definitely anything
but mediocre.
It’s one of the best crime n good-guy-vs
bad-guy flicks out there. It’s ‘slick’ (pun
intended) with superb acting from of course the 2 best male leads in tinsel town,and a great score. What more could anybody want?
This is one of the best films of the 90s. Period.
