After the murder of security guards who were protecting an armored truck Vincent Hanna (Pacino) begins investigating the crime. His investigations lead him to Neil McCauley (De Niro). Now a game begins between the two as they try to better each other. One hoping to catch his man, the other hoping to get away. Along the way wer are treated to some wonderful acting by all parties involved as well as some of the most stunning action scenes put onto film.

The movie does drag somewhat in the middle but  considering it's running time there are always a few places some movie can drag. That's not to say the movie is boring but it does require a lot of your attention to get the most out of it.

This transfer is sharp throughout the entire length of the film which is good but the shadow detail sucks and as a lot of scenes in the movie are filmed at night it is slightly annoying.

There were no MPEG artifacts seen in the movie and film artifacts were few and far between. The colors were also under saturated sometimes to the point of looking pale. Could have been intentional by the director though.

Heat is framed a 2:35:1 and is 16:9 enhanced.
