				"A guy told me one time, 
				"Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing 
				to walk out on in 
				30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around 
				the corner."" 
				- Neil McCauley 
				Why watch this? 
				A first class crime action film with a first class cast. 
				Plot Summary: 
				Master thief Neil McCauley and his crew plan and execute 
				high-stakes heists across Los Angeles. Meanwhile, obsessed LAPD 
				Lieutenant Vincent Hanna relentlessly pursues them, driven by a 
				personal commitment to his job that mirrors McCauley's own 
				dedication to crime. This cat-and-mouse game escalates as their 
				worlds collide, exploring the blurred lines between their 
				professional lives and the impact their obsessions have on their 
				personal relationships. Dad's Preview: 
				This film brings together two tough-guy film icons in Pacino and 
				De Niro. They only have one scene together, a quiet conversation 
				in a small diner. One is a sophisticated criminal, the other a 
				vice cop. There's a healthy level of respect between them, but 
				they don't leave as friends. They know they're going to meet again, 
				and one 
				of them is going down. I wish there were more films with these 
				two great actors going at each other, but perhaps, that's the 
				point - less is more. Regardless, I love this superb action 
				heist flick.
