Heat Al Pacino 1999 DVD Top-quality Free UK shipping

Having developed his skill as a master of contemporary crime drama, writer-director Michael Mann displayed every aspect of that mastery in Heat, an intelligent, character-driven thriller from 1995, which also marked the first onscreen pairing of Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino. The two great actors had played father and son in the separate time periods of The Godfather, PartII, but this was the first film in which the pair appeared together, and although their only scene together is brief, it’s the riveting fulcrum of this high-tech cops-and-robbers scenario. DeNiro plays a master thief with highly skilled partners (Val Kilmer and Tom Sizemore) whose latest heist draws the attention of Pacino, playing a seasoned Los Angeles detective whose investigation reveals that cop and criminal lead similar lives. Both are so devoted to their professions that their personal lives are a disaster. Pacino’s with a wife (Diane Venora) who cheats to avoid the reality of their desolate marriage; DeNiro pays the price for a life with no outside connections; and Kilmer’s wife (Ashley Judd) has all but given up hope that her husband will quit his criminal career. These are men obsessed, and as DeNiro and Pacino know, they’ll both do whatever’s necessary to bring the other down.
