Review

Mann's self-described "Los Angeles crime saga" features, among other pleasures, the first on-screen meeting between thespian heavyweights De Niro and Pacino. De Niro plays a cool, icily competent thief; Pacino is the weathered, equally cool L.A. homicide detective obsessed with his capture. Most of the film is a buildup to the inevitable showdown between the two men, neither of whom is willing to back down or give up. Mann's script brings the tired cliché of "honor among thieves" to a new level as it contrasts both men. Unfortunately, the overlong film is bogged down by far too many unnecessary subplots. Also hindering the success of the film is Pacino's out-of-control performance. Despite the flaws, however, Mann's exceptional visual style shines with slickly staged chases, robberies and confrontations, making this a satisfying and moving crime drama.
