A witty film about police and robbers that is always patiently told.

By coincidence, I started to watch this police movie starring many big names, especially two handsome Italian uncles. The title is "Heat". I don’t know what it has to do with "FireWire", even the three words "FireWire". What does it mean, I’m not quite sure, stealing the wire? The wire in the circuit? What does this have to do with the film? In fact, Heat has already explained in the film that it is the clever "sixth sense" and the criminal's "sixth sense". I don't know what words are in Chinese to describe this feeling. For example, it is like a student playing in an examination room. During the cheat sheet, I suddenly felt something wrong nearby. For example, the teacher might have seen himself from a certain angle, and then he immediately threw the cheat sheet away and answered the questions carefully. This so-called "wrong" is Heat.

Speaking of it, when I opened this movie, it gave me some headaches. It was nearly 3 hours long. For me who are used to watching commercial blockbusters, I feel that it is too long. After watching it, I feel that there are some plots in the movie. It can be removed, such as Natalie's plot. Of course, Natalie's appearance in this film made me very happy. Although she didn't have many roles, she was really young at the time and completed the role very well. However, her plot , If it is a little redundant to describe the marriage of Pacino Cup, what's more, the film doesn’t show that he is chasing after his daughter committed suicide, but that he still chases the prisoner under such a cup, then, simply Just let his wife commit suicide.

I remember that I saw these two big-name films, "Righteous to Kill", which was not well-known at the time. At the time, I thought it was relatively ordinary. However, this film is very good in both the plot and the characters, and Alna’s owl-like performance Playing with De Niro deeply and calmly, I feel that the identities of the police and the criminal have been reversed. The prisoner is calm and graceful, and the policeman is the one who is always angry. De Niro, the criminal, is so handsome that he can go to the bookstore and can make beautiful ladies take the initiative to strike up a conversation. He can also be compared with Batman's archenemy, the Joker, and almost escaped. The highlight of the film is also about how the criminals can beautifully complete an incident. The level is no less than that of a well-trained Alpha squad. After all, there is a combination of Godfather + Batman + Spanish Scimitar, ha ha.

The actors in this film are so familiar with each other, except for the main actors, Al’s deputy is the sheriff in "Detective Amon". And Uncle Ma Hong seems to have an old face. Back then, it was almost the same as now. It is not easy to regain popularity by TV dramas. And the one who cuckolded Batman was Buffy’s boyfriend, who was known to everyone in "Friends", the Russian scientist who was also the resident voice of "The Simpsons".

This film really needs to be patient, so that I can appreciate every minute of this film on a laptop screen that I don't plan to be big, in order to feel the various details of the film. Basically, this film tells stories every minute, telling all the main characters all over, and even the story of the black man has been prepared, so this nearly three hours is not boring. Especially at the end, it really allows people to see how De Niro will end up. The final processing is also more detailed, watching, chasing and running, you hide from me, and let the audience sit firmly in the seat. It is commendable.

The soundtrack of this film is also good, especially when and at the end of the bank robbery. The electronic soundtrack of the 90s movie is very nostalgic. Due to the limitations of the times, criminals are relatively easy to escape in this film, but nowadays, when the network nano-satellite CSI is so developed, it is not so easy for De Niro to escape crimes. For example, at the end of Batman, if there is a modern smartphone that can display pictures and video chat, it is another matter.

    Film history classic police film. The authenticity of the bank robbery street shootout is still full of most movies of the same genre and war movies; the portrayal of human nature is memorable and memorable; and this is Henry Rollins, the former lead singer of the Black Flag band who is keen to play tricks in movies. The best job ever taken after a successful transformation.

    Someone once told me, don’t ask for any accessories, there shouldn’t be anything in your life that you can’t abandon within thirty seconds.
