Hurmph. The 1st time i seen Heat i turned it off after an hour or so and slated it to everyone who cared to listen. The whole build up of the charecters bored me to tears. I even gave the film a second chance - and i now rate this as one of my top films ever made. I got the whole thing wrong. Yeah, i agree its streached out. But the build up of Pachino vs DeNiro let me witness 2 fantastic actors going head to head, and seeing both sides of story,showing both good points and bad points for each charecter. The musical score fitted perfectly with the feel of the film. The bank robbery shoot out section was the most gritty, realistic and utterly involving piece of cinimaography ever made on film. And by the time the stand off arrived i didn't want either charecter to die. Add exellent performances by shabby actors like Micheal Madson, Nancy Travis, Val Kilmer and even Natalie Portman!.......

Michael Mann is a ever growing talent, therfore i can't wait for Miami Vice

I cant wait to see if this is a butchured or bettered vertion of the film. Either way Yoshimi thank you for the work and effort you've put into this edit, and i only hope this experience doesn't put you off doing any future projects by the critisism you've got on the Pirate Bay (98% of which consist of 'takers' -never 'givers' in my experience).
