Maintaining a cool head is the key to McCauley's success, and if he even senses a rise in temperature by a mere half a degree, he'll do whatever is necessary to avoid getting burnt. He runs a very tight crew, which always includes his loyal best friend Chris Shiherlis (Val Kilmer), and he methodically plans out every job with tactical precision. Neil McCauley (Robert De Niro) is a professional thief. This sequence really is a true marvel of modern filmmaking. Not only is the film infused with razor-sharp writing, a stellar cast, and stylish direction, to this very day it still delivers what is widely regarded as the best gunfight in cinematic history. After giving writer/director Michael Mann's Heat a spin again for this Blu-ray review, I stand by my claim that if it isn't the greatest heist genre flick ever made, it easily ranks as one of the most entertaining action movies to come out of the nineties.
