Reunited on screen for the first time since
The Godfather II, De Niro and Pacino embark on a slick game of cat-and-mouse in Michael Mann's action thriller,
Heat. Veteran Lieutenant, Vincent Hanna (Pacino) is tracking high-level thief, Niel McCauley (De Niro) as he prepares for another job with his crew.
Michael Mann (
The Insider, Collateral) takes a familiar action film premise and creates a whole new layer of intrigue, playing with audience expectation by riffing on De Niro and Pacino's screen history. The film's magnificent tension is built on these two actors who simultaneously bring depth and meaning to their characters while knowingly enjoying Mann's game with their respective personas.
