Heat (1995) - Mann

Best Quote:  I do what I do best, I take scores. You do what you do best, try to stop guys like me.

Well-acted and executed (if formulaic) action film. Al Pacino is a cop after Robert De Niro - the leader of band of armed robbers. Val Kilmer and Jon Voight lend support. Of course, Pacino is often over-the-top, and De Niro is often cool to point of being comatose, but mostly these two heavyweights deliver the goods. 

Other pluses: the action scenes are thrilling and locations attractive. On the downside: The story and characters are pretty standard as is most of the dialogue. And its too long at 3 hours, But an enjoyable action movie. Rating ***
