Now, I realize that doesn't necessarily give or remove merit to a film (Children of Men barely was recognized) but in a year where Babe and The English Patient were among the Academy titles, how does Heat not get any mention?

You, sir, are a cad. Heat is Mann's best film, and probably one of the best films I've ever seen set in Los Angeles. Collateral ain't bad, but it's unfortunately overshadowed by Tom Cruise's presence, which throws it off balance. Pacino's relationship with his wife and step-daughter was supposed to be blah... that's how it became because of his job. This movie could have been twice as long and I would have loved it.

And Pacino's brilliant. It's a fantastic film about obsession and loyalty and the codes that we choose to live by - and maybe die by... Just watch De Niro's face when he's driving through the tunnel and the light shifts and he changes his mind - it's sublime stuff. On his day, Mann is a superb director - I can't wait for PUBLIC ENEMY T What the hell are you talking about – the ending of HEAT rocks! And Pacino’s brilliant.

It is actually overrated. Aside from the 2 good action scenes and a few other smart scenes, most of the film is a bit drawn out, which is typical of Mann's work. I don't like the Pacino character and his relationship with his wife and daughter was blah. Kilmer is awesome, De Niro is good, Ted Levine is great. But without the gunfights, this movie is too long and intermeshed with too much "eh." Also, I could give you 4 reasons why the ending sucked, but I wont, out of 'spoilers.' But yes, Heat has one of the top 3 gunfights of all time in it and is worth seeing for that alone. Yeah, this film is not “underrated.” It is actually overrated.

I will still hold out hope they did this movie to break the ice and will work together on a far better film in the future. then again i havn't actually seen Righteous Kill so it could be good, I mean Heat was never a critic's favourite.
