Thank you for clarification. I was like, wait that's Eddie Bunker. Wait, he was in Heat? Wait, is that not Eddie Bunker? Who the heck is it? Fun little journey.
Absolutely. I think he’s one of the more accurate depictions of a hitman too. No weird code or his own rules that he follows; just someone who simply doesn’t care about human life
I agree, and it has one of my favorite lines in cinematic history: Max: “You killed him” Vincent: “No, I shot him. The bullets and the fall killed him”
And the way they telegraph the ending right at the start. It comes full circle. Brilliant performances by Fox & Cruise, and *fantastic* urban cinematography, even the use of digital over film gives it this whole other vibe. A truly classic piece of cinema
It feels slick and grimy all at the same time. Theres so many great moments that defy expectation. And god damn the chemistry between Jamie Foxx and Jada at the beginning is palpable

“Hey I just saw Heat!” “I saw that 6 years ago…”

That final scene set to Moby's 'God Moving Over The Face Of The Waters' would feel unearned in any other film. Not this one.

Wait until you hear about the sequel

The shootout after the heist going sideways is my favourite action scene of all time, just epic

Apparently, the 1980 Danny can kick your ass AND bury it.

Where’s Al Pacino?

iirc deniro and Pacino hated each other and didn’t even film their confrontation scene together

When I went through Marine Corps Boot Camp in 2002, they showed the last fire fight scene as an example of how to disengage under superior fire.

I went through in 2008 and they still were lol

Waingro! The actor who played him, Kevin Gage, did real prison time and and he was known as his character inside.

Sounds like it was an unfortunate situation: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Gage_(actor)

Where’s Waingro?
insegrevious
Oh man, I hate to be the one who has to break this to you... Neil killed him before he himself was killed by a LAPD officer.
craycray606
Hahaha yea I know. I’ve seen the film about 100x. Waingro was a likable dirt sandwich of a character.

because she's got a.... GREAT ASS!!!!

L to R: Trejo, Eddie Bunker, DeNiro, Sizemore, Jon Voight and Kilmer.

Eddie Bunker wasn't in the film, but Jon Voight's character was based on Eddie in real life. Eddie also played Mr. Blue in Reservoir Dogs.

Not one of them aged well.

I remember watching this movie and thinking Jon Voight’s character was going to betray the crew
BigTex1
Oh shit, I’m literally watching this right now!

Such a good movie!!

deniro looks absolutely stomped

Such an awesome movie in every respect: casting, acting, writing, music, editing. Damn, need to rewatch that

Watch Collateral if you never had. I love Hear but Tom Cruise as a psychopathic hitman is just the tits

Yeah Collateral is a perfect piece of cinema, when that coyote crosses the road & looks at Fox who stops in his taxi. So many great moments

Great movie! The guy beside Tom Sizemore I can't seem to remember his name. Anyone remember? Couldn't find him on IMDB either.
WhatUpDog3000
Eddie Bunker, he's the real person Jon Voight's character was based on. He's also written a bunch of crime novels
ilhares
Oh, shit, it's been so long I don't even remember Trejo in it.
somethingnotyettaken
Seeing him this age just feels *wrong*.
geoffreyfourmyle
His character's name? Trejo. 😁
PoliticalWanderer
Minor role. Is the driver for Neil's crew, gets replaced before the bank robbery.
Isthe4thtimethecharm
Well, yeah, he learned from his time in for the last bank robbery.
xenocyde1224
gets followed and beat to death by the banker & ex accomplice, whole reason the cops are waiting for them at the bank heist.

Did you know there’s Heat 2?

Yes, and the novel is nowhere near the level of 'Heat'.
