[QUOTE="renotime, post: 1549977, member: 4393"] I don't see why it's so important as to what a movie's source material is. And who doesn't like Rock N Roll? But no, that's not the only reason I like it. I dig the characters, the action scenes, the dialogue, the realism, the beautiful cityscapes, how Mann doesn't spell everything out to you, but hints at it. And yes, people die. DeNiro's character is a professional and a sociopath and told Pacino he wouldn't get in his way no matter what. When the hot head kills a guard they have to finish the rest of them off because like Pacino says, "Why leave a living witness." If you're so concerned with people being killed why did you like The Way of the Gun? That was basically a poor man's Peckinpah movie. And those two main characters didn't have a single moral fiber in either of them. For the record I thought that movie was solid. If you don't like Heat you must not like movies very much. That's one of the best movies of the last 30 years. [/QUOTE]
