Heat diner scene. Which two actors today could come closest to achieving the hype of De Niro/Pacino

[Possum Jenkins]

I like how no one ever recalls them sharing tons of screen time in Righteous Kill

Probably cuz the movie sucked ass

 

[Possum Jenkins]

Oh and Daniel Day-Lewis and Phillip Seymour Hoffman would have been incredible together

 

[Bob Gray]

Holes was a great movie and he was great in Transformers.

I don't get the hate for Shia.

Oh, I understand the hate. He's a kooky weirdo with a punchable face. He's come off unlikeable at times.

But he's definitely a solid actor. It's like hating on Bieber. You can hate his music or his behavior, but that doesn't make him untalented.

You could argue Hoffman and Phoenix was the best "face off" in recent years.

 

[CrimsonFan]

The assumption is surely that theirs a lack of evidence against him at that point.

Obviously.

Just seemed corny to me, and extremely unrealistic

Tom Cruise is a kooky fuck too, but I'm not going to let my personal opinion of the guy stop me from watching his highly entertaining movies.

Same goes for Shia

I don't know the guy at all (or Cruise), how can I know what it's like to be him?

I don't think out of character for Hanna/Pacino though, the idea that he'd want to catch De Niro red handed and really put him away rather than take him in but then have to either let him go or get him on some minor charge I think fits.

They would have him on multile capital murder charges

But ok, i see why people like that scene and that movie. I enjoy it
alot, but its more of a generic 90s action flick for me than a really great film. The actors make it stand out. Im not going to say its overrated, because i never hear anyone talk about it.. Except here, Sherdoggers love Heat

It really happened with the characters whom Hanna and McCauley are based on; they really had coffee together.

Factual basis
Heat is based on the true story of a real Neil McCauley, a calculating criminal and ex-Alcatraz inmate who was tracked down by Detective Chuck Adamson in 1964. Neil McCauley was raised in Wisconsin where his father worked as steam fitter to provide his family with a middle-class life. The normalcy of Neil's youth faded following the adoption of another child and his father's death in 1928. At 14, he quit school to find work to support his mother and five siblings. The McCauleys soon relocated to Chicago. In Chicago, McCauley began his criminal career after his mother began drinking heavily. By the time he was 20, he had already done three stints in county jail for larceny.[10][11]

In 1961, McCauley was transferred from Alcatraz to McNeil, as mentioned in the film, and he was released in 1962. Upon his release, he immediately began planning new heists. With ex-cons Michael Parille and William Pinkerton they used bolt cutters and drills to burglarize a manufacturing company of diamond drill bits, a scene which is closely recreated in the film.[12] Detective Chuck Adamson, upon whom Al Pacino's character is largely based, began keeping tabs on McCauley's crew around this time, knowing that he had become active again. The two even met for coffee once, just as portrayed in the film.[11] Their dialogue in the script was almost exactly word for word the conversation that McCauley and Adamson had.[12] The next time the two would meet, guns would be drawn, just as the movie portrays.[11]

Was gonna say exactly this.

I think LaBeouf is a solid actor. He was great in Lawless and Wall Street 2 (I actually really liked that movie.)

He may be a little eccentric in his personal life, but much like Cruise, I couldn't care less.

Both put out quality work, IMO

 

[Halge]

nobody.

With a script like Heat's to work with: Anybody.

 

[Rob Battisti]

I’m intrigued by the Oldman/Washington pairing.

 

[Law Talkin’ Guy]

Cruise and Bale?

 

[BisexualMMA]

Not many pairings would have that kind of cache.

Maybe something like Tom Cruise and Denzel Washington.

 

[Uptown Swinger]

Pacino and Pesci

"The Irishman" 2019

 

[Falconkick]

Daniel Day Lewis, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Gary Oldman.

Either two of these three amazing actors could.

Oldman and Daniel Day for the win I would think. Incredible talent.

However Walken and Hopper in True Romance, during the Sicilian scene was pure brilliance also.

 

[Jimmy McGill]

 

[El Chimpo]

Cruise and Gibson

Phoenix and Leo

Matt Mac and Phoenix

Denzel and Sam Jackson

 

[El Chimpo]

Tommy Lee Jones and Sam Jackson had a great movie together

Just the two of them

 

[Oogie Sharp]

The gold standard...
