This film is a real masterpiece.. back in '95 having De Niro and Pacino in the same film was the equivalent of todays Avengers except for adults... it was the Miami Vice of the 90's in LA with the best actors in the world faced off against each other as cop and criminal.
This movie is my all time #1 MOVIE. Well it's my # 1 action/drama/love story movie all in one- it has everything in it - I love the feel of it all. Wonderful work.
Michael Mann looks calm and easy going outside but a very tough man inside, a rare quality if you ask me. I can observe this kind of qualities in his movies’ characters (sort of)
John K. Come on you can’t defend Blackhat , that movie was garbage! ManHunter and Thief are highly underrated tho! Heat and Collateral are Michael Mann Masterpieces!
18:30 - "nobody sweeps somebody [with a machine gun] in this movie". I think THAT is what set this movie apart from the last 100 years of crime films, where the mobster would pull out a Tommy gun and gratuitously mow down the whole room. In THIS movie, no one does that, because it's not practical; the shooters point, aim, shoot, and reload, like in real life.
Michael Mann is an Aquarius genuis director very good with action crime urban thrillers. My favorite films from him are Heat (1995) Collateral (2004) and Miami Vice (2006)
Why isn't "LA Takedown" ever mentioned in these interviews about "Heat" ? It was a made for TV movie, but overall the same story with some of the same character names. It was the blueprint for "Heat", and since it had actors as well, and was directed by Michael Mann, it should at least be mentioned, i think...
The best ensemble cast of any movie in my opinion. De Niro, Pacino, Val Kilmer, Danny Trejo, Jon Voight, a young Natalie Portman and the list goes on. 👍🏾
This film was recommended to me by some gentlemen I was working with who had recently been released from incarceration -- apparently it is very highly regarded in those circles.
The only thing that I didn’t really get about this movie was why Pacino didn’t arrest Deniro when he caught up to him before he took him to the Diner for dinner (Huh?). That didn’t make ANY sense, and the movie just fell apart from there! Deniro and his gang killed a bunch of people earlier in the movie .
I’d have to watch the movie again to be certain, but I’m pretty sure they didn’t have the right evidence against them. All they had was “breaking and entering” at the second heist which is a minor infraction.

My favourite movie of all time is Heat. Michael Mann is legendary
Can we start getting more modern interviews of classics like this ?
Undoubtedly his crowning achievement 👑
I'm so glad that Mann is still so into this work, and hasn't forgotten the fans, in all of his success.

He had a great run of films manhunter, last of the mohicans, heat, the insider, Ali, collateral.
jaimon john manhunter was so great, the original red dragon, the original Hannibal lecter! Mann rocks !
jaimon john eh hem!! You forgot Thief with James Caan! That’s a cinematic gem right there my friend
Blackhat 🤮
@@phoenixzappa7366 why you brings that up 😂

My favorite director. I could only hope to be half the filmmaker Michael Mann is.
Heat is phenomenal, but he's made some pretty bad movies. Public Enemies was a joke.
Marco Dellorusso
I'll respectfully disagree. I enjoyed Public Enemies. In all honesty I'll defend all of his films so I am biased.

The action is the juice
I wanna see a Miami Vice reunion interview with him, Don Johnson, Philip Michael Thomas, Edward James Olmos and the rest of the original cast

A work of genuis by Michael Mann.

(A) plus movie. I own the DVD.
Back in the late 1990s he could have made a film with Paul Newman and Gene Hackman both in it
need another nationwide screening plz🙋♂️
Michael Mann would be a great Batman director
You said it bro
I want to see him make more films for sure
totally agree about the 3d characters
More!
Heat (1995) is one of the better ones of this type of film in my book. All the other ones that tried to copy this one suck.
Mann"s Masterpiece No1, ( "Thief" is No2 )
Did Warner Bros dump this movie from their collection?!?!?
Awesome director and Movie one of my all time favorites but the interviewer at the beginning was lagging. I almost fell asleep for 90 seconds
Well, this is film is not Fox no more, now it is Disney
