~ essay on Heat (1995).
In Michael Mann’s transcendent crime action drama Heat, a master thief and ace detective duel to balance the chaos being created in the city around them, directly caused — and clarified — by one another.
Robert DeNiro plays professional heistman Neil McCauley. Al Pacino plays lieutenant police officer Vincent Hanna. The two G.O.A.T.s share the screen for the first time in Heat (1995) — and what a pair of performances. There are other great performances in this film, namely by Val Kilmer as Chris Shiherlis, a hotheaded, hi-tech marksman within McCauley’s crew, Ashley Judd as his ailing, acab-abiding wife, Amy Brenneman as Eady, McCauley’s impassioned muse for normalcy, and Jon Voight as the steady overseer for the heist plot.
For the purposes of my succinct analysis, I am focusing on the characters of McCauley and Hanna, the beating hearts of the story.
