Critics Consensus

Though Al Pacino and Robert De Niro share but a handful of screen minutes together, Heat is an engrossing crime drama that draws compelling performances from its stars -- and confirms Michael Mann's mastery of the genre.

Geoff Brown

Times (UK)

Stripped to its bones, Heat may sound trite. But Mann puts so much flesh on his characters that you never feel hungry.

Jonathan Romney

Guardian

Like Kubrick, Mann takes a genre premise that seems like no big deal, and expands it into a cosmos of its own. Heat might simply be the most spectacular B-movie ever made, but that’s impressive enough.

Rick Groen

Globe and Mail

Dream match-ups on paper don't always succeed on the screen -- like twin fires fighting for oxygen, will they merely cancel each other out? Hardly. This is one titanic clash that actually lives up to the billing.

Birmingham Post

Heat is a giant of a film, a god among American crime thrillers… Masterpiece is an overused term. Here it barely comes close.

Tom Long

Santa Cruz Sentinel

Mann has produced the best crime epic since Goodfellas and one of the best films of the year, an absolute must-see for anyone who likes good (heck, great) acting and modern cinema.

Rated: A

A film with so many possibilities that it ends up as split cake between Bob and Val. [Full review in Spanish]
