They are two great actors and Michael Mann has done some great movies like Manhunter (1989) and Collateral (2004), and talking about Natalie Portman, you should watch her in Leon: The Professional (1994)
Eddie Perkins
2024-02-20 14:26:08 +0000 UTCWow. That is a good movie.
Clay F
2023-12-27 05:13:41 +0000 UTCThe movie that inspired the North Hollywood Shootout
Zachary K.
2023-04-08 01:51:53 +0000 UTCThe serial killer guy was resp. for so much death from the beginning of the movie to ratting out the guys who were going to have the successful bank score, and if he were not part of the crew from the beginning till the end it would have been just a movie with successful bank robbers who lived happily ever after. Oh yes you must watch Natalie Portman's first movie The Professional.
Lana Gorgeous
2022-10-25 03:03:50 +0000 UTCYour comments about young Natalie Portman at the beginning immediately brought to mind another movie that I absolutely love, and I believe would be an excellent reaction movie for you....Léon: The Professional. Natalie Portman's first major movie, and an exceptional performance for a young actor. I can't recommend it enough.

2022-07-24 06:52:03 +0000 UTCthere should be a link in the bio for a version we edited without as much as we could
Cassie
2022-07-08 22:43:12 +0000 UTCnot normal :( i’m so sorry, made the mistake in 2 movies but once i realized you could here it in the reaction, never again! sorry
Cassie
2022-07-08 22:38:46 +0000 UTCNewby here, is it a normal thing for Cassie to use a fidget clicker during a reaction? We were disappointed and had to turn off the reaction because it got frustrating.
London Davis
2022-07-08 22:30:54 +0000 UTCTwo other great cops-n-robbers movies also come to mind after seeing how you reacted to this; The Town (Ben Aflaak), and Public Enemies (Depp, Bale, etc.). Public Enemies was also directed by Michael Mann, who directed this, as well as so many other great films. I know you would respect them both!

2022-05-31 21:16:53 +0000 UTCCassie, let me take shot at possibly describing what you felt at the end. (You said you didn’t know). You know that you saw great performances by great actors. You realized right away that it was serious subject matter. Yet, it lacked the over-the-top dramatic action pieces indicative of Hollywood heist or detective films. This was the dark life of major crimes and the life of the people that chase them. So, I think you felt what I did (I thought about this for a long time) - Throughout the film, there is no place to hang your hat! There are no characters that you would want to hang out with. There is nowhere in this film to call “home.” And it was intentional. Director Michael Mann did not want Detective Vincent Hanna’s life to be envious or stable or welcoming. Everyone is flawed. And though the story has a resolution - you (the audience) have no where else to go when it ends. That’s the empty feeling you felt (that’s pretty hard to achieve as a filmmaker).

2022-05-27 06:03:50 +0000 UTCOne of my favorites ever is, “Oh…FLIP,” when the bathroom door opens in PSYCHO.

2022-05-23 18:37:10 +0000 UTCYup, I knew she said frick from the first edit, but the way it was edited in the 2nd version made it seem like she said something worse 😄
Nismo
2022-05-23 00:33:38 +0000 UTCI just watched it again. She says, "OH FRICK!" btw. :) A Cassie STAPLE!
Philip Alan
2022-05-22 21:45:06 +0000 UTCIn the updated no-clicks edit it made it seem like they edited out her saying the F-bomb during the final stand-off. I got a good chuckle out of that 😅
Nismo
2022-05-22 10:48:31 +0000 UTCAlso I think there really was a big shootout between bank robbers and the LAPD on the streets in the late 80's early 90's.
Marty McGee
2022-05-22 06:22:05 +0000 UTCOnly made it 20 mins and couldn’t take the figit clicker.
Robert Snyder
2022-05-21 23:12:36 +0000 UTCSEARCHING FOR BOBBY FISCHER can’t be recommended often or highly enough. A beautiful, moving story about lots of things but maybe most of all about fathers and sons — and father/son relationships of several kinds — and what they mean, and do to, both participants.
Jason Chirevas
2022-05-21 21:31:25 +0000 UTCI must avoid spoilers, but if you ever get a chance to see the stage play The Secret of Sherlock Holmes there is a tectonic revelation. I was fortunate enough to see it in the West End with the inimitable Jeremy Brett as Holmes.
Michael Threapleton
2022-05-21 21:13:37 +0000 UTCI would never describe Sherlock and Moriarty as men who would otherwise be friends.
Jeff Richman
2022-05-21 19:58:46 +0000 UTCIt's like we watched a different movie (see my comment upstream). The relationship between master detective and mastermind of crime is so derivative of Holmes and Moriarty. Searching for Bobby Fischer is great and features the brilliant Ben Kingsley who is in the superb heist movie Sexy Beast. The film introduced me to Laurence Fishburne who was outstanding. What a great actor he is and I thought at the time that he would go on to have Denzel type fame and success. Check out his star turn in Othello (1995) in which he was the first African American to play the lead role in a major film adaptation of the Shakespeare play.
Michael Threapleton
2022-05-21 07:43:51 +0000 UTCWith so much going on, it took me a few watches to realize the connection between the bank robbery tip and Van Zant's security guy. You got it on the first try. There's apparently a deleted scene that connects the dots a little more, but it doesn't matter. Nice spot! I'm glad the ending worked for you! I'm not sure the movie even technically qualifies as entertainment, it's a very difficult watch and never tells you what to think or feel. It's not "fun". It IS a work of art, and one you can reflect on endlessly and keep learning from. A masterpiece. The ending is one of the greatest scenes in cinema... if the viewer can grasp it. You clearly did. A lot of people call this a heist movie but I think that's very wrong. If I had to put it in a basket, I'd put it in with a little known early 90's movie called Searching For Bobby Fischer. Which on the surface is kind of like a Karate Kid story about chess, but Roger Ebert's review of it is maybe his best, and he captures that it's a movie about our responsibilities to our gifts. Whether they should define us, and be allowed to consume us. Very much like how their gifts consume Neil and Vincent and everyone around them, and how ultimately, as a result, the only people they can completely relate to are each other. And that's just one of dozens of possible takeaways. An absolute masterpiece. I don't totally recommend reacting to Searching For Bobby Fischer because it's a rather delicate movie with low ambitions, but it truly is a lovely one. Brilliant and sensitive, like its young main character. I DO recommend Roger Ebert's review of it. He had a way of helping you understand just how good a movie truly was. But if you ever get convinced to react to Karate Kid (which itself is a surprisingly good movie despite how it sounds), keep Searching in mind as well.
Jeff Richman
2022-05-21 06:34:05 +0000 UTCCassie, since you like heist/Con movies like the Oceans trilogy, you’ll probably really like the TV show Leverage. It’s about a team of thieves and each one has their own specialty. They use their skills for good and plan cons/heists every episode to help people who have been taken advantage of.
Tara
2022-05-21 02:21:46 +0000 UTCCassie : “I can’t take this, play some music or something!” And voila suspense music... That is the power of Cassie 😉 I waited until after the movie to tell you that Edie was from Private Practice, but you figured it out . Cassie I wasn’t sure if you saw that Chris’ wife gave him a signal when he got out of the car with his short hair, that’s why he drove away. Val is amazing in Tombstone! hint... hint... 🍿
Tara
2022-05-21 02:13:48 +0000 UTCAnother great early Natalie Portman film (and where she also has a more prominent role) is Leon: The Professional. Pretty straightforward "good guys vs bad guys" action flick that I think you would really enjoy.
Aaron Mann
2022-05-20 21:06:54 +0000 UTCIf you liked HEAT, Cassie, an intuitive, though not overtly similar, recommendation might be ZODIAC.
Jason Chirevas
2022-05-20 13:58:56 +0000 UTCI think Cassie would find COPLAND satisfying, as it’s a western in the traditional mold.
Jason Chirevas
2022-05-20 13:56:26 +0000 UTCThis is like the heist version of Unforgiven. No one really wins, and who do you even want to win?
Future Boy
2022-05-20 12:59:49 +0000 UTCNo Country for Old Men is a film i consider to be very overrated.
Armchair Rizzard
2022-05-20 10:51:25 +0000 UTCMy recommendation for a heist movie was Sexy Beast (2000). It features Ben Kingsley as the second most menacing and frightening character in film. The most menacing and frightening is, of course, the cowboy in Mulholland Drive (2001).
Michael Threapleton
2022-05-20 10:20:12 +0000 UTCI finally watched this film for the first time. There's so much praise for it from critics and fans I was expecting a quasi-masterpiece. Didn't work for me. Had the feel of a TV movie with a larger budget. Could tell it was a Mann film of that era from the obtrusive score and paper thin characters. Was this a freshman film school writing project? Way too long. Can't ever see myself watching it again. My criticism might seem a little harsh, but Heat is the greatest movie ever made compared to The Replacements. So there's that. Contrast this to De Niro in Goodfellas, Casino, and Jackie Brown--- films I've watched multiple times and will continue to do so. Wouldn't reactions to those be worth waiting for? And No Country for Old Men (2007).
Michael Threapleton
2022-05-20 10:01:47 +0000 UTCPacino's best film, by far, after the Godfathers, is Looking for Richard (1996)
Michael Threapleton
2022-05-20 09:40:48 +0000 UTC"That's a killshot" lol. Were you quoting 'Date Night' with Steve Carell by chance? Well I usually don't laugh that much while watching Heat 'welcome to Taco Bell can I take your order?' 'yea I'd like a Michael Cherrito please.' Between that and calling for a truce at the end lol you kill me. But I'm glad you enjoyed the movie as much as you did. I was a touch worried that you would find it kind of the 'Unforgiven of heist movies'. No levity, dealing in the grey areas, not sure who to root for, etc. But you're right on the money, because they spend so much time with the characters you really become invested in everyone's story. I don't know why I was worried though, you are for SURE a film buff at this point. So proud.
Erik Daniel
2022-05-20 08:51:23 +0000 UTCJust thinking out loud, since we are finally getting more Al Pacino Movies, apart from The Godfather, hopefully we'll get another 'Court Room Drama' with The Devil's Advocate, which also stars Keanu Reeves.
Mr. Killeverything
2022-05-20 08:25:10 +0000 UTCAnd probably Midnight Run would be Cassie's favorite De Niro movie. In a deep, deep sleeper pick maybe Jacknife. I'd also love the idea of Cop Land also starring Sylvester Stallone somewhere down the line.
Shawn Kildal
2022-05-20 07:56:14 +0000 UTCOf course, The Godfather, Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon and many others are great, great movies of Al Pacino, but I think the movie that Cassie would most enjoy from him is Frankie and Johnny with Michelle Pheiffer
Shawn Kildal
2022-05-20 07:45:30 +0000 UTCOption A: Leave on a plane and live with Amy Brenneman or Option B: er what is there to think about? IT'S OPTION A!!!
Shawn Kildal
2022-05-20 07:41:50 +0000 UTCYes, Al Pacino has a loud, scary voice, but he's a teddy bear on the inside irl.
Alex Villarreal
2022-05-20 07:27:49 +0000 UTCInteresting thing is Michael Mann actually just recently made a sequel book to this movie, and I’m not sure entirely how a sequel would work there lol Also a couple other heist/cops and robbers movie that I think are similar to Heat and are pretty good movies are The Town (2010), Ben Affleck stars and directs, and Den of Thieves (2018) with Gerard Butler. Den of Thieves I feel took heavy inspiration from Heat, as there are many similarities between the two through themes and lines spoken. Arguably, it could also almost feel like a remake of Heat at times lol only it does have a pretty interesting plot twist towards the end.
Gilbert Gonzalez
2022-05-20 07:10:23 +0000 UTCThis was a great movie and a great reaction. Now, that Al Pacino movies are finally happening, hopefully that The Godfather will happen, which will lead into the greatest movie of all time, The Godfather Part II.
Mr. Killeverything
2022-05-20 07:05:15 +0000 UTCI don’t know if anyone else addressed this in the comments (I tried to check and it didn’t look like it), but the movie is actually roughly based on a true story. When Mann was directing “Thief”, he worked with a lot of real Chicago cops (Dennis Farina would go on to become the most famous of them). One of them (not Farina) told Mann the story of the real life Neil McCauley. This cop knew McCauley and knew he was an armed robber and just happened to run into him in a shopping center one day. The cop decided to ask McCauley if he wanted to get some coffee, and they had a conversation very similar to the one that De Niro and Pacino have in the film. Later on that same cop ended up shooting McCauley when he was trying to knock over a store. It’s probably my favorite bit of movie trivia about the film.
Matthew Clark
2022-05-20 05:39:04 +0000 UTCWow! It’s been a while since I watched this movie. Still holds up IMO. And thank you for editing out the clicks. Even though it was probably unnecessary. I appreciate how much you care about what you put out though. And how you really want everyone’s experience to be as good as possible. It says a lot about the kind of person you are. I really enjoyed your reaction! I know you prefer things to be more black and white. With a clear good guy and bad guy. Instead, you got a study in gray. But the movie is done so well, it still looks like you really got into the story. Don’t know if you recognized Dennis Haysbert. Who played Breedan. The cook/getaway driver. He’s well known for his All State insurance commercials. Or as President Palmer on 24. But I was sure you would recognize him as Cerrano. From the movie Major League you watched recently. Looking forward to The Sting!
Robert da Spruce
2022-05-20 05:13:34 +0000 UTCI'd heard that. And it's obvious once you know. But I also loved the performance not knowing that. It makes it seem Vincent uses that performance as a tactic to put people off balance. Either way, it works. Pacino's greatest performance, even if Frank Slade is a close second.
Les Bird
2022-05-20 04:37:06 +0000 UTCI did too lol
LMrcs
2022-05-20 04:31:58 +0000 UTCI always felt the true victims in this film are Lauren (Portman) and Breedan (All-State Guy). Two people that absolutely depend on others in authority are failed because of the choices made out of their control. Lauren's parents neglect her because Vincent is a workaholic and her mother chooses to focus on infidelity instead of her responsibility as a parent. Breeden wants to reform but is forced into a broken system that does not care for him except to profit from his dependency. Just tragedy waiting to happen. Loved your reaction as usual- can't wait for the next one!
LMrcs
2022-05-20 04:31:17 +0000 UTCThank you, Cassie/Editor for the re-edit! It's perfect! And the audio is much much better on top of the great re-edit! I appreciate the quickness and willingness to fix. :)
Philip Alan
2022-05-20 04:05:51 +0000 UTCOne of the films I most appreciate although I don't watch it very often. The reaction was everything I hoped it would be. (BTW what "clicking"?)
Michael Labs
2022-05-20 03:53:27 +0000 UTCYour post-film discussion at the end is just a perfect nutshell version of why I love watching reaction channels -- it's clear how sincere you are when you say that this was not the kind of movie you traditionally watch but you were IN it, and you get wrapped up in the characters and the story. I think that's the feeling that all movie lovers are chasing. It is always interesting to me when people are big book readers and not movie people, because movies are their own world of storytelling and there's so much to enjoy. Also, on the other end of the spectrum, I laughed really, really hard when you called Cheritto "Chorizo."
Tyler Foster
2022-05-20 03:52:01 +0000 UTCStudi's lucky to be a well-known enough actor to get to do that reasonably often. I first saw him in a much, much different context...Mystery Men.
Tyler Foster
2022-05-20 03:45:09 +0000 UTCWow, y'all are too great. I just got home from work and saw the update so had to check out the first video just to hear what the clicking was like. It's so sweet you guys go through all that work for something that really wasn't that bad. So thoughtful. Also, why is it you always hit me with a video when it's needed? Thanks for looking out. Now to watch one of my favorites with the best of company. I actually saw this when I was 11 with my Pops and I thought it was slow and boring lol. Saw it again when I was the proper age to appreciate everything and was like 'ohhh'. What a film.
Erik Daniel
2022-05-20 02:52:14 +0000 UTCCassie, after this and a war movie you deserve a What About Bob? break. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels with Steve Martin and Michael Caine. Lighthearted comedy with lots of chuckles. I agree Heat felt like a mini-series. Pretty tough watching Pachino right after Scent of a Woman. Both characters had shared the same mannerisms. Al never fades into the character; you never forget it's Al Pacino. Not a bad thing. Great Actor. He just turned 82 a few weeks ago. Thanks for sharing a few hours with us. Good flick.
Grinznmore
2022-05-20 02:52:06 +0000 UTCI think you would enjoy The Town w/ Ben Affleck, Rebecca Hall, and Jeremy Renner.

2022-05-20 02:30:29 +0000 UTCI was just about start watching when I noticed the notification with a link to a fixed “declicked” version. Darn! I was going start calling you Cassie the “Clicker”! 😂 I guess that’s out the window! Downloading the fixed version now! Thanks Cassie!
Robert da Spruce
2022-05-20 01:29:27 +0000 UTCYou got to love Nolan... The guy is a true student of film, much like Tarantino. Both true geniuses of cinema who have a real love for keeping it alive. Anytime they do interviews or speaking gigs regarding film I'm always there for it.
Brian Jones
2022-05-20 01:24:02 +0000 UTCI was wondering what that was! LOL!! I thought it was a very loud pen! 🤣🙂
Matthew Dunham
2022-05-20 01:19:03 +0000 UTCBrian, I second all that, I think Cassie would also enjoy Miami Vice for it's visual style and love story, it's also very intense!
Marc Levesque
2022-05-20 01:09:28 +0000 UTCWhen she said she wanted a well crafted plan where everyone has a specific role based on their strengths I think she was talking about the movie Sneakers. Someone should convince her to watch that and, unless I missed it, I'm surprised none of the "Heatheads" have commented that the reason Al Pacino was acting all crazy was because he was high on coke and the director cut that out of the movie.
Variable38
2022-05-20 00:53:14 +0000 UTCYeah, this isn't a film about moral rights and wrongs, good guys or bad, this is a film that's morally gray about the people on both sides of the law. There is no "good guy" to cheer for. It's a film about the collateral damage done to the emotional attachments of it's main characters, and a very realistic look at what both the criminal life and cop life entail. Michael Mann knocked this out of the park. It's so well written, shot, directed and edited. The mid-day bank heist shootout is still to this day one of the most realistic scenes put to film. The sound design for that is absolutely amazing and literally puts you in the moment. And the meeting of Pacino and De Niro at the coffee shop is one of the most iconic on screen moments in film. The dialogue in that scene and the brilliant acting draw you into both the characters haunted lives and the common ground they share even though they are diametrically opposed. While I know it's not your type of movie, I'm glad you took the time to watch it. It's a brilliant piece of filmmaking. I really do hope you get around to some of Michael Mann's other films in the future. Collateral, Manhunter, and The Insider are all absolutely amazing movies I think you would really enjoy.
Brian Jones

2022-05-20 00:36:17 +0000 UTCThe best film to not be nominated for any Oscars. Still can't believe it.
Brent Petty
2022-05-20 00:22:33 +0000 UTCI thought the clicking was funny and it didn't bother me at all.
Carol_White
2022-05-19 23:21:13 +0000 UTCI think Thief and Manhunter are masterpieces too. They're not perfect, but they are so full of style and life and flair. And 2 of my favourite soundtracks ever: 80s synth overload!
Future Boy
2022-05-19 22:27:19 +0000 UTCCassie, I hope you choose to watch Thief (1981) someday. It's also a heist, and it's written and directed by Michael Mann, who also did Heat. It's very, very similar in style/theme, but it's a smaller story with fewer characters. Unlike Heat, it focuses almost entirely on the people doing the heist, so you know who to root for. Heat and Thief are both excellent, but I love Thief even more, and maybe you will too. P.S. I loved this reaction! Next up, The Sting!
Future Boy
2022-05-19 22:21:24 +0000 UTCI barely even noticed it, Maybe two or three times during the quiet parts, but other than that it faded into the background for me.
Mike Lemon
2022-05-19 22:05:07 +0000 UTCGreat reaction to one of my top three favorite movies!
Mr. Rodgers
2022-05-19 21:59:29 +0000 UTC"Almost" perfect?
Stick Figure Studios
2022-05-19 21:40:49 +0000 UTCYeah, RONIN is terrific. I'd love to see her react to that at some point.
Stick Figure Studios
2022-05-19 21:39:53 +0000 UTCMichael Mann is one of my dad's favorite directors so he was really excited to take me to the theater to see this when it came out and it helped turn me into a fan as well. Mann has done some tremendous movies (THIEF, MANHUNTER, LAST OF THE MOHICANS, THE INSIDER, MIAMI VICE, COLLATERAL, etc), but HEAT is his masterpiece. It's 3 hours long but there isn't a dull moment in it. It's never less than totally engrossing with interesting characters played by some of the finest actors ever to grace the silver screen, thrilling action set pieces and a gritty but still slick visual style. The teaming up of the two powerhouse actors of their generation Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro onscreen together for the first time was just the icing on the cake of this fantastic film.
Stick Figure Studios
2022-05-19 21:37:26 +0000 UTCHear, hear!! Two AWSOME films and some of Val's best work. I watch "Thunderheart" at least once a year.

2022-05-19 20:54:47 +0000 UTCI'm kinda worried too haha. I was really looking forward to watching this tonight, and I just hope the clicking doesn't bother me too much or is too noticeable.

John Drake
2022-05-19 20:03:06 +0000 UTCSince you liked this, Cassie, you will probably like the movie Ronin, also starring Robert deNiro, it’s got heist elements, some twisty bits, and one of the best car chases. Pretty stacked cast as well. Fits right in with both Heat and the first Mission: Impossible.
Ian Forbes
2022-05-19 19:57:30 +0000 UTCI think I heard you wonder where you've seen Eady before. If you watched Frasier she was his live interest in 4 episodes as Faye with the Jewish mom
Mark Harrell
2022-05-19 19:43:05 +0000 UTCThat clicking can easily be edited out of most the video if you feel the need to. It's gonna be a bit tedious because the movie is long but its simple. First, I'd sample a small bit of the room tone so I could place it anywhere I am going to duck the audio so it sounds natural. Second, just go through all the spots you're not speaking and draw in some audio automation to turn it down. This is where that sampled room tone on another audio track helps because people won't even notice it was turned down. As for the parts you're speaking its not a huge deal. Your voice is still the loudest thing. Not a perfect solution but could work.
Myles Away
2022-05-19 19:29:56 +0000 UTCFor me... this film is almost perfect. Excellent script, ensemble cast led by two legendary actors, tight musical score ( the music at the end.. last man standing scene was especially poignant) and realistic action... that gun standoff after the robbery is top notch.
Robin Craft
2022-05-19 19:13:33 +0000 UTCAlthough noticeable, the clicks didn't bother me either. Wonderful reaction as always, and totally agree with Cassie that each actor played his/her role perfectly that you truly believe these characters. Was lucky enough to catch this movie when it came out in the theaters back in 1995 and the downtown LA shootout with theater sound system was epic. Stood the test of time. Michael Mann is the man.
Ramzi M. A. Ramzi
2022-05-19 19:11:43 +0000 UTCI second Michael's opinion on "The Professional" (1994). It's known internationally as "Leon" and in some home media as "Leon: The Professional". It's a superb movie and Natalie Portman has a much bigger role in it. In fact, she was one of the three main driving forces in the movie: Leon (Jean Reno), Stan (Gary Oldman), and Matilda (Natalie Portman). It gained popularity over time being a US/European production set in New York City. Highly recommended. Also recommended, but a completely different genre, is "The Fifth Element" (1997) by the same French filmmaker, Luc Besson.

Mr Jordan
2022-05-19 18:36:57 +0000 UTCThe real heist here is having the Heist Poll hijacked and having one of the best gritty crime dramas ever made misrepresented to Cassie as a heist film. Cassie was right at the beginning of the film when she said the music didn't sound like heist film music and when she said she likes it when you root for the guys on the heist. But it all ended well as fans of this film got to see Cassie give this absolutely fantastic reaction to this, well, as I say, one of the best crime dramas ever made. And she did really appreciate the story, the characterizations, the film making, superb acting, if not the violent action. But don't lose trust in us Cassie, The Godfathers Part 1 and Part 2 and Goodfellas actually ARE the best Mob movies. I know, I know, this movie is on the list of top heist movies on IMBD, but my gosh I like my heist movies to be fun capers with clever plot twists, just like Cassie. does.

2022-05-19 18:29:54 +0000 UTC"I'm disappointed with everyone in this movie." Yeah, it's definitely the antithesis to your preferred movie type from the before times! And the fact that you said that right before Vincent trots down the stairs like a giddy school boy - leaving the hospital where his soon-to-be-ex-wife (due to neglect) is and his step-daughter is (after trying to commit suicide, due to neglect) - was just too perfect. So glad you chose to watch this one. Really enjoyed the reaction! :)

2022-05-19 16:53:12 +0000 UTCI'm Blackfoot from southern Alberta and I work in the film industry. This movie will always have a special place in my heart because of Wes Studi. He's portrayed as competent good guy that isn't connected to being native american. I love when indigenous people are in movies, in all types of roles, but it's exceedingly rare to see a native american in movie role that isn't specifically a role designed for indigenous people. Also, his indigeneity isn't referenced for a cheap laugh or to check some boxes. No one calls him "chief" or "tonto" or thanks him or apologizes to him. He's simply a man portraying a LAPD detective alongside Al Pacino in a major Hollywood film. It was such a trailblazing moment for me when I first saw this as a teenager.

2022-05-19 16:32:50 +0000 UTCAlso you made a comment asking is this the youngest Natalie Portman's ever acted? No it's not she was very young in the movie The professional. Actually a really good movie
Michael Lynch
2022-05-19 16:02:10 +0000 UTCAwesome reaction Cassie to an incredible movie. If you haven't seen the TV series 24 the cook is in it as President Palmer. Also the American Indian cop is the bad guy in last of the Mohicans.

2022-05-19 16:00:58 +0000 UTCMy favorite line.... "should she be scared of him?" Who? The convicted thief/killer? Nah

2022-05-19 14:31:04 +0000 UTCGood reaction, you've probably seen the best of Michael Mann now. Solid complex characters, inconsistent pace, excellently shot films. No worries Cassie on the clicks. It seemed like a mic bump had recording swapped to some other lower positioned/laptop mic picking up on the fiddling far more than directional mic would have. It happens, you notice, it fades into background as white noise after stuff pops off in the movie. Now just sell PiB branded fidget cubes on your store and embrace it.

2022-05-19 14:25:19 +0000 UTCCassie great reaction. The “clicking “ didn’t bother me because I know why you do it from following your channel. I was seriously just looking up figit gadgets for you the other day. My son uses them to calm him down. Through trial and error we found on that was quiet and could be manipulated with one hand . It’s a cube made with hinges and I oiled the hinges so they wouldn’t squeak. No worries though from me!😁

Jason Dolan
2022-05-19 14:00:44 +0000 UTCAmazing watching that vicariously "for the first time" all over again. You hit the nail on head when you said those actors were their characters. For me, that's what makes Heat so remarkable, in addition to masterful storytelling and perfect cinematography from Dante Spinotti. I don't see Al Pacino and Bob De Niro when I watch Heat. I see Vincent and Neil. Cinema perfection. Thanks for the reminder what it was like seeing for the first time.
Les Bird
2022-05-19 13:27:14 +0000 UTCPeople are way too dramatic about the clicking. Some one even wrote " What possessed you to do that? " like she's did this horrible crime against humanity or something :D

2022-05-19 13:20:55 +0000 UTCI haven't made it all the way through yet but so far you've not recognized the balding cop with the bushy mustache. He played Buffalo Bill in 'The Silence of the Lambs'.

2022-05-19 13:15:09 +0000 UTCNice!!! I guess I know what I’ll be watching tonight! These “clicking” comments concern me though. Hopefully it’s not too bad.

2022-05-19 12:58:40 +0000 UTCThis movie has one of if not the best shootout scenes in cinema history.
Alex Gorell
2022-05-19 12:55:58 +0000 UTCI'm glad you got to see this, Cassie! It's often referred to more as a "crime saga" than a "heist movie", and yeah, it kind of ends tragically in a lot of ways... but it's sooo good, at the same time. You're right, it does such a good job of fleshing out the characters and what they want that you get anxious because you can't decide how you even *want* it to end. Neil could have had it all! ... But at least that Waingro psycho got got! Neil didn't even know he was a serial killer, but he needed to be buried, so at least there's that! Love that you loved the brotherly holding of hands at the end. It's the pièce de résistance of this epic!
Dan
2022-05-19 12:37:51 +0000 UTCOne of my top favorites, too. The one downside of watching reactors is that they usually have earbuds, so they don't get the full surround effects of the helicopters and shootout between the buildings. Heat is one of the few movies in modern cinematic history to use the ambient sounds of the set to capture the gunshots, rather than dubbing them in post with fake "bang, bangs". The bank shootout is legendary because of the reverberating sounds of the shots echoing between the buildings that gives it an atmosphere and authenticity that other films lack. Truly an epic masterpiece.
Dan
2022-05-19 12:12:09 +0000 UTCOh my God yes! I just woke up and saw this and I'm about to dive right into this one. This movie is so freaking awesome.

2022-05-19 11:57:43 +0000 UTCUnfortunate that it was so close to the mic lol

Rogue_ML
2022-05-19 11:48:36 +0000 UTC***SOME SPOILERS*** If it makes anyone feel better Neil and Eady never would’ve made it to Fiji through the brightly lit 405 junction tunnel that framed their choice between light and darkness. The real Sepulveda airport tunnel may not have a talent agent since the 405 junction tunnel to the South Bay gets all the work. Likewise, the Bob’s Big Boy in Burbank may be overused as a place to meet for cinematic criminal activity. It’s an especially bad place to start a downtown Los Angeles bank heist. Unless that’s where Dr. Evil left his Bob’s Big Boy spaceship. But, of course, nonsensical locations don’t mar the excellent performances or the film’s compelling character study. It is unfortunate the heist getaway inspired the real 1997 North Hollywood shootout, which escalated militarization on both sides of city law enforcement. Much better to visit 5th Street and Flower for the delicious spaghetti at café Drago Centro. There’s usually no need to retreat under fire.

2022-05-19 11:37:45 +0000 UTCI would add: The Deer Hunter, Raging Bull (I know), The King of Comedy, Awakenings, Cape Fear, Casino, A Bronx Tale, Jackie Brown, Ronin, Analyze This, for De Niro. For Pacino: Serpico, Sea of Love, Glengarry Glenn Ross, The Devil's Advocate, Any Given Sunday and Insomnia.

2022-05-19 11:27:47 +0000 UTCFor those who may not know, Christopher Nolan took inspiration from this film when he made The Dark Knight. Here he is a few years ago interviewing Michael Mann and the cast at an event. Highly recommend you checking it out. I can listen to Michael Mann talk about his films all day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ju3GJhlM4EE

2022-05-19 11:11:12 +0000 UTCSeems Pacino and De Niro have been showing up quite regularly on your channel lately. Can't wait to see what you watch with either of them next. Though might I be so bold as a make a few suggestions? For De Niro: Taxi Driver (1976), Once Upon a Time in America (1984), Brazil (1985), Angel Heart (1987), Midnight Run (1988), Goodfellas (1990) and Wag the Dog (1996) For Pacino: The Godfather (1972), Dog-Day Afternoon (1975), ...And Justice for All (1979), Scarface (1983), Carlito's Way (1993), Donnie Brasco (1997) and The Insider (1999) And for both together: The Godfather Part II (1974) and The Irishman (2019) Whichever of these, if any that is, you end up watching next I hope you enjoy.
Jake McNulty
2022-05-19 10:56:33 +0000 UTCI loved this movie as a kid. Older I got less I liked it. Definitely about 40 minutes too long and some weak plot lines. But Deniro and Pacino overcome these weaknesses and make it a better film
nick bell
2022-05-19 10:48:51 +0000 UTCMan I'm happy. I've been begging for this film for almost a year and now it's here. One of my undisputed top 3 favorites. This film will always get me emotional. This was truly the end of an era. The two greatest actors of their generation, at the end of their prime, colliding for the first time ever. Women cry watching the end of Titanic, real men cry watching the end of Heat. Pacino holding De Niro's hand as he dies, knowing he just killed the best opponent he'll ever face. The beautiful score by Moby playing in the background. Just perfection. Michael Mann is a true master of his craft. From the storyline, to the visuals, to the music, to the fashion, to how he creates criminals who aren't necessarily villains that you root against, and sometimes even root for. Pacino and De Niro in that diner together is the equivalent of LeBron and Kobe facing each other in the finals and guarding each other down the stretch of games. Unfortunately, we never got that. But the mutual respect and admiration are clear to see even though it's not stated explicitly. Two loners, two alphas who are obsessed with their work, they're the best at their jobs, and for that reason, it's messed up their chances of having a somewhat normal existence. But neither of them regrets it. As for that shootout scene, best we've ever seen, no doubt. They recorded it on the spot, as opposed to fabricating it in some room like they usually do. That's why it sounds so different from other films. Authenticity. I'm glad that you kinda liked it(?) and definitely appreciated it. This film was the main inspiration for The Town, which you've seen. I'd love for you to check out Collateral. Same director, starring Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx. It also takes place in LA and has a few visual and thematic similarities, although the story is completely different. Thank you for taking our advice and just watching it on your own, as opposed to leaving it in the hands of voters.

2022-05-19 09:39:08 +0000 UTCSorry Cassie, but the clicking is louder than your voice and it’s very distracting, especially for a movie where you need to focus like this one. I’m sure you’re gonna hear a lot about it, but yeah, no more fidget toys please. Thank you.

2022-05-19 09:07:27 +0000 UTCSpeaking of the North Hollywood Shootout. they actually made a film about it. 44 Minutes if I'm correct.

Patrick Gibbs
2022-05-19 08:55:39 +0000 UTCEven though they'd both worked for over a quarter century at this point, often with the same directors, the diner scene was the first time De Niro and Pacino had acted together on screen. About a year after this movie came out, real life imitated fiction when two heavily armed and armored men held up a bank in North Hollywood and then engaged in a running battle with police and SWAT for almost an hour. It became known as the North Hollywood Shootout. This movie is actually a remake. The writer/director, Michael Mann, had filmed a version of it for TV in 1989, known as L.A. TAKEDOWN. A few years later he got a much bigger budget and cast to film it more properly. There is actually a novel sequel, written by Mann, coming out later this year. Mann produced the TV hit series MIAMI VICE in the 1980s (which he adapted as a film in 2006 with Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx) and also directed movies like THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS, THE INSIDER and COLLATERAL.

2022-05-19 08:43:36 +0000 UTCThe clicking is making this unwatchable. I can't believe you thought that was a good idea.
David Murray

2022-05-19 08:36:25 +0000 UTCThe shoot-out to end all shoot-outs. One of my favorite films. An all-star cast, jaw-dropping cinematography, and a white-knuckle thriller from start to finish. An influence on Christopher Nolan and one of the greatest remakes ever made, techinally.

John Cranberry
2022-05-19 08:13:35 +0000 UTCIt’s 1:10am. This movie is 3 hours long. I’m going in! One of the best cat and mouse movies ever. Second to only maybe the Korean film I Saw the Devil.

2022-05-19 08:11:33 +0000 UTCThe combination of Al Pacino and Robert De Niro can't be beat ! The sitdown meeting between the two is one of my all time favorite scenes.
