Michael Mann’s 1995 teaming of screen legends Robert De Niro and Al Pacino is a heist film at its core, but it is also so much more. It’s a cop thriller, a romance drama and a shoot ’em up all wrapped up into one hell of a film that only gets better with repeated viewings. The opening take of the armored truck is a classic, the botched heist in the middle is a fantastic moment of supreme tension and the ultimate shoot out in the streets of Los Angeles at the end is one of the best ever shot on film.
