One Of The Best and A Must Watch Classic
No woke. One of the best heist movies of all time. Excellent acting and writing. It can come across as a little drama heavy at times
and has that very 90's feel that some won't like or 'get'. Contains one of the best if not the best shootout scenes in cinematic history
for firearm accuracy, sound effects and legitimacy overall, worth watching for that scene alone. So many good actors make appearances
in this, and a must watch in my opinion.

Not a fan of the genre, but it's very good
Not a fan of Mann and his brand of urbanized modern Western, hence being 30 years late for this one.
But I have to admit, the bloke sure knows his way around a camera. The movie is tense, gripping and tight, despite the run time.
The much hyped street shout-out scene is, well, still a little Hollywood, but yeah, it's good. Furthermore, it's _legible_. Here, the multiple alternating shots and point-of-views do not create a voluntary mess as a cover for a badly choreographed scene, and one can easily make tactical sense of the fight's progression.
Characters are consistent, cast is stellar, pacing is near perfect.
I'm very much impressed.
