Outstanding movie and some brilliant acting from some of the best in the business. Special praise to Luis Guzman who only had a minor role in this film but was outstanding.

The set-piece in the donut shop is an all time great. Fantastic film.

Heat

Alternate scenarios

And fill me in on this. Was Neil disappointed that Val Kilmer didn't go with him? I think so. Can someone clarify for me. When he went at the door and John Voight said '' it's a free country '' was he making reference to Val who wanted to go his own way?

If only Voight didn't mention where Wayne Gro was when he was on the phone to him while driving with that book store chick. '' You're home free '' I wish Neil just kept driving and sailed off into the sunset. It did make a good ending though the way it actually happened. But * I wish he just kept driving on the right path literally. But I do understand that in his mind, Gro killed innocent people. Got his mate killed as well and ****ed up his plans. That Van Zam campaigner got what he deserved too.

I felt bad for that chick for the first time last night. Maybe I have before, but watching it I thought what a campaigner Neil. I know his reasons. But he had it all, all he had to do was get on that plane.

Also Ashley Judd. Was she going to do jail time? As if she wouldn't have exposed Val when he got out the car if it was her ass on the line. I only just thought yesterday what would have happened to them after all of this.

And that guy that got shot dead after they robbed the bank. Man he had a lot of money too and assets. He should have walked away as Neil said. Neil was awesome. But that greed factor drove them to their own down fall. It happens. We've all been there and done that to some degree.

Awesome movie. Probably my all time favourite. It would be my number 1 actually because it had it all. The story line. The creativity. The cast. The music. Everything.

De Niro and Pacino were like a Lockett-Ablett State of Origin combination.

10/10

It's Waingro. His first name is never revealed in the movie.

McCauley never got over the fact that the robbery of the armoured truck turned into a triple-murder because of Waingro's actions and drew the attention of cops like Vincent Hanna, whereas if it Waingro had not killed the guard, then it probably would not have been escalated. Waingro also placed an anonymous tip to the LAPD about the intention of McCauley and his crew robbing the bank, so McCauley wanted to get revenge on Waingro for destroying his crew.

I suspect that Ashley Judd's character would have not done jail time. What could they hold her on? It would be very hard to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she obstructed justice by warning away her husband when he drove past the safe house.

It does feel that the last decade, in terms of mainstream blockbusters, has been weighed down by comic book movies and franchise restarters. The '90s had their own franchise starters in The Matrix and Scream, original action like Jurassic Park, Speed, comedies like Groundhog Day, Truman Show and The Castle, quality films like Pulp Fiction, Fight Club, LA Confidential, as well as some franchise continuation like T2. There seemed to be much more variety.
