Hanna becomes obsessed with catching McCauley and McCauley becomes obsessed with 1) killing Waingro (after that slimy fuck evades a first hit) and 2) doing one last high profile job to secure his financial future. A hired henchman named Waingro ( Kevin Gage) murders one of the guards and transforms the robbery into a murder case for the police. Heat is the story of police lieutenant Vincent Hanna ( Al Pacino) and elite stick-up artist Neil McCauley ( Robert De Niro), who become acquainted with one another's work after an armed car robbery gone wrong. It spawned a generation of terrible ripoffs for good reasons: it's one of the best movies of its era and bank heists have very little to do with it. It came out when I was 12 and, you know, a three hours bank heist movie didn't exactly seem like my idea of fun. Why would anyone in their right mind review a twenty-three years classic everybody's already seen five or six times? Believe it or not, I've never actually seen Heat.
