Netflix has all kinds of high-level movies, but they don’t always last forever in their catalog. The list of films on the platform is constantly being renewed, which means that many of the ones you can watch today will probably be gone tomorrow. This is about to happen with one of the best thrillers they have, which will only be available until March 31st.
We are talking about Heat, the 1995 film directed by Michael Mann, which brought together for the first time —since The Godfather Part II, where they didn’t interact— the two most popular Italian-American actors in history: Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. Both actors delivered two of their best performances in this film, and it undoubtedly became a classic that you have to revisit every now and then.
Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, face to face
Heat introduces Neil McCauley (Robert De Niro), an expert thief whose philosophy is to live without attachments or ties that could become an obstacle if things get complicated. In addition, his crew is made up of highly skilled professional criminals who can even impress Detective Vincent Hanna (Al Pacino), a man who is so obsessed with his work that he puts his love life at risk.
When McCauley’s gang prepares for the final heist, and Hanna’s team sets out to stop them, each of them realizes that they are dealing with the most brilliant mind they have ever faced in their career. Thus, a direct battle between two geniuses is generated that transcends the screen and impacts you directly.
Undoubtedly, Heat is a classic that is worth watching at least once, and Netflix gives you the golden opportunity to watch it before March 31st. There are only a few days left, but surely you can easily replace that time slot you have for watching a series with Michael Mann’s feature film.
