Oh yeah, let’s try and apprehend these heavily armed bank robber right in the middle of downtown LA! Even though we already IDed them and know the car they’re getting away in and could easily apprehend them later at a more controlled location and NOT IN A FUCKING BUSY CITY BLOCK FULL OF CIVILIANS!!!
Jesus Christ, is Al Pacino like the dumbest fucking police detective ever?
That why heat works as a Greek tragedy more than a shakesperean one. It’s a tale of hubris and mundanity, in my opinion. Everything is so spectacular but it’s just another Tuesday for these people. DeNiro was never meant to leave the life of crime, and Pacino will continue to be an asshole and bad stepfather as he was before catching the bad guy of the week.
No one in this film is capable of changing, the only transformation they can go through is death itself.
