In Reply to: I thought HEAT had so much potential, if they had just toned down Pacino. posted by Duilawyer on July 31, 2004 at 17:27:21:
Much the same as the Hopper/Walken confrontation in True Romance. I felt Pacino played the coffee scene well according to the character he had already set. Unlike De Niro, Pacino is an old style leading man. You hire him to be himself and no one else. De Niro is a chameleon and can be nearly anyone.
Follow Ups:
Heat was the first DVD that I bought and I watched it 3 or 4 times. I still really enjoy it. I think that was the first time that Pacino's yelling-style became really noticeable (to me.) Actually its kinda at its milder stage in Heat - I think he has somehow managed to ramp it up in other roles since then! I also love that Walker/Hopper scene in True Romance. (Where they "discuss" the Moores and the Eggplants.) Seems that this scene was a dry run for Walker's great scene in Pulp Fic where he is telling the kid about his old man's watch hiding skills.
and,of course, I have the dvd. The movie made me want to be on DeNiro's crew. He was a fine criminal and human being.
Each time I see it, i keep hoping Pacino takes the bullet.
I think that's the line. One of the best scenes in movies, along with the coffee shop scene.
