Genre: Crime/Action/Drama/Thriller
Starring: Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Val Kilmer, Jon Voight, Tom Sizemore, Diana Venora, Amy Brenemman, Mykelti Williamson, Ashley Judd, Danny Trejo
Neil McCauley (De Niro) along with his gang of robbers, which includes Chris (Kilmer) Trejo (Trejo) and Michael (Sizemore) rob $1.6 million in the form of bearer bonds from an armoured truck. Lt. Vincent Hanna (Pacino) an LAPD homicide detective gets on the tail of McCauley and his group. McCauley and his gang are planning to rob a bank at the risk of getting caught or killed. They have just been double crossed by an accomplice and their position is compromised. It's a do or die situation for McCauley and Vincent and they're both thirsty for each others blood. The movie is a very typical cop story. Complicate the plot, get a good star cast, have an amazing action sequence and watch the ratings rise. The movie doesn't have anything different to offer in terms of its plot which is fundamentally simple but has been complicated due to the excessive use of jargon. It's a very typical and regular movie and I really don't know what the fuss is about.
Thumbs up: Pacino and De Niro as ever, nice action sequences
Thumbs down: Regular run of the mill plot, gets boring at times
Rating: 6.8/10
