Jon served as McCauley’s (De Niro's) fence. Without him, they would've never been able to sell the bonds they stole from the armored car and they would've never received word of the bank job. If you need further clarification as to what a "fence" is, I've included a link from Wikipedia here <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fence_%2528criminal%2529" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fence_%28criminal%29</a> How can you degrade Jon Voight's role as “some crusty old guy”?

I, as an aging baby-boomer, lament that De Niro has aged. If only we could all stay as sleek, polished and fit as De Niro's Neil McCauley in this great film.

Keep up the good work!<br><br>BY the way, rounding out my top 3 Bank heists would have to be The Dark Knight and Quick Change (to obscure?), with an honorable mention going to Raising Arizona and Point Break. I'm sure I've forgotten a gem in there somewhere, and I'm not counting Dog Day Afternoon since it was the entire movie. Maybe you could put up an article on this topic...

You're absolutely right sir (or madam). I would actually rank the heist as the #1 bank heist ever filmed, but due to my verbose writing style (as filmfreek mentions below), something had to go. While there are many awesome bank heists captured on celluloid, I wanted to focus more on Heat's ability to paint such an even picture of both sides of the law. That, in my opinion, is a rarity in cop dramas these days. Ahh my tragic flaw. You're absolutely right sir (or madam).

Another one to get on BluRay. I try to be selective when it comes to purchasing movies on that format - it has to b e something visually and aurally worth the purchase, and this one falls into that category. Thanks for the news!
