This will always be the best ending ever in my opinion. As a viewer you can understand everything Vincent has gone through. He lost his marriage, colleagues, private life and possibly the only worthy opponent to his talents. This is the one story of his life to write a book about. Now he will ultimately face the boredom of every day life, chasing the other idiots around the block. We're right there with him, because we just witnessed the greatest crime movie of all time, spent 3 hours getting to know the characters and saw how their story ends. We know we'll probably never see a movie like this again. So we're kind of trying to hold on to something and don't know what's next, too.

You summed up my feelings perfectly, great comment Ostkreutz.

When Neil holds out his hand, and Vincent takes it - but looks away - that's everything, the whole movie, right there. That's Neil, after a lifetime of hiding his feelings (what he perceived as weakness), finally giving himself permission to be vulnerable, and silently confessing to his sworn enemy that he was afraid to die. Then there's Vincent, who recognises Neil's fear but can't bring himself to look at him...he pities him enough to help him through his final moments, but he's immediately conflicted by that pity. How can he show mercy to a cold blooded killer? Then again, how can he ignore the plight of a dying man? Somehow, holding his hand but looking away is the best compromise he can think of...but as soon as he looks away, he is confronted by an even bigger problem. When he looks away...where else is there to look to? What else is there to feel? As Neil dies, Vincent realises that the troubles in his own life will only go on.

In retrospect, everyone thinks Neil should have let Waingro live and get on with his life. But there was also a mistake made by Hanna. He should have never engaged that bank robbery and have a shootout in the middle downtown LA where the collateral damage was great and he lost one of his friends/partner, Bosco. The same drive that compelled Neil to go after Waingro was also present in Hanna, insisting they have the shootout as they came out of the bank and not allow them to get away, surveil and then capture them in a more advantageous location. Those two were very much alike.

This scene was pretty awesome. As much as I wanted Neil to get away, Vincent was equally badass and ended him. When the bad guy offers his hand up, knowing it’s over, and the good guy takes it, is definitely awe inspiring. 👍🏼

I know he claims to Eady he isn't lonely, and he keeps in mind the iconic line of never getting attached to something you can't walk out on in thirty seconds flat, but I think he just kept telling himself that in order to mask his true feelings from himself, and once he spent that night with Eady on top of hill, the mask slipped. I like this personally as it does give some humanity to Neil, though I can understand why people prefer the idea of him being a stoic person due to his time in Folsom.

Yes! Every time I watch this I wonder whether the reason Vincent doesn't look at Neil as he's holding his hand is because he doesn't want him to see the regret or even envy in his eyes. Because in the end, they had the same terrifying life question to answer if they survived. "What becomes of my life now without him?" But Neil will never need to have that answer while Vincent is ironically sentence to life trying to get it. So Neil did get away after all. And it was Vincent who is in prison. He didn't look at Neil because he was afraid Neil would see in his eyes that he wanted to switch places with him.

The respect between the two enemies is absolutely beautiful

Look at what music does to a scene. Pure magic

This movie could hit theaters today and still be a smash hit, and it’s been almost thirty years! He coulda got away with the girl, but he couldn’t let Waingro go! I don’t really blame Neil for going after Waingro though. I mean the guy was a POS in this fictional world. It was better without him alive to cause more chaos. Besides, we wouldn’t have got this poetic ending if he didn’t go after him. Also, I love that song that starts playing at 5:15 and Neil saying, “Told you I was never going back.” And Vincent being pretty sad about shooting him because of the mutual respect they had, always enjoyed that.

One of Michael Mann's very best films! Al Pacino and Robert De Niro were priceless! Great movie!

The final scene is one of the best criminal drama endings I have ever seen. Both the legendary and incredibly talented actors are my favorites, but Robert De Niro’s character is somehow closer, that’s why I wish Neil had survived. However, the sense behind is much deeper. Firstly, Neil is an outlaw - a ruthless robber with an impressive criminal history; secondly - he is a kind of gambler. Like a gambler, he is constantly balancing on the edge by increasing the risk of the operations and the value of potential trophies. His excitement and self-confidence know no bounds, but any game has two options: either you win, or you lose. For Neil failure is not acceptable. Neither is surrender. The only possible scenario is “Win or Die”. The moment of Neil’s death is just heartbreaking. The spectators can see how a confident professional who never ever assumed the possibility of defeat becomes vulnerable. Uncatchable Neil McCauley is now slowly fading away, heavily bleeding from his mortal wounds. Outstanding performance of De Niro makes the moment exceptionally realistic and touchable. You can notice a horrified look, intermittent breathing (even the relevant abdominal movements are shown close-up). Undoubtedly, he is in immense pain. We can feel his fear of death. When Vincent comes closer, Neil's eyes represent both a desperation about being overpowered and acceptance of fate at the same time. His last words: “I told you I’ll never go back” clearly state that he rather chooses death than be arrested. Could there be another exit? Probably not. Vincent, whose constant battle with criminals ruined his life, took away a family and in fact turned himself into obsessed animal fanatically hunting for a prey - will be unwavering. Like the quote says: “In a perfect world, it would be different, but the world is not perfect”. Their paths crossed in the wrong time - two of the closest souls and two of the worst enemies. I am sure, Neil would have killed him if there was a chance to make the first shot. Neil’s journey is over, but the next round of Vincent’s own hell has just begun. He stares anxiously into the distance, realizing that he is actually dead inside. I have seen a lot of criminal movies with pretty powerful death scenes but only two made me completely speechless - John Woo’s “The Killer” (1989) and “Heat”. Could not stand without tears. The magnificent performance of Pacino and De Niro, suspenseful storyline as well as beautiful music makes “Heat” a true masterpiece!

Beyond friendship, this film tells a story about family. Hanna and McCauley are not friends, circumstances have turned them into adversaries. They both respect each other, but as they proclaim in the cafeteria scene, neither of them hesitates when the time comes. The two are opposite sides of the same coin, they can see themselves reflected in each other's sides. They both have the same level of determination in their work, almost obsessive. And an important detail that is often overlooked is that they have both been in the Marine Corps. When Hanna shoots McCauley, he feels that he's killed a brother, not a friend or an adversary. Paccino is truly a giant in a movie filled with memorable performances

A gritty and edgy film that holds you to the very end. Every student aspiring to be an actor should have to watch this and films like it in order to graduate. Pacino and De Niro don't come no better. The level of talent and surrealism that they bring to roles is unmatched.

i found it interesting that McCauley seems significantly more competent than Hanna through pretty much the entire movie. even in this final standoff, Neil gets the better of him, establishing a defensive position where he knows his path of ingress, locating him with his shadow, and waiting patiently in cover. the shots underscore that Neil understands the threat posed by the runway lights; meanwhile, Hanna moves out into the open, with no cover, and is taken completely by surprise by the lights. Neil has a clear shot on Vincent, but Vincent somehow manages to pirouette 90 degrees and hit McCauley first. to me this scene is Hanna being completely outclassed by McCauley - but McCauley can't bring himself to pull the trigger.

Joe Pesci is up there with them. Dinero has just about had equal duo roles with each of them respectively. Damn near even in the number of films with either Pesci or Pachino. The Irishman is the only film where all three of them have played a role together.

I've seen this film since I 1st saw it in theaters upon its release....many many times. Maybe as an older man...Watching this after quite some time...the end when Neil holds up his hand and Vincent doesn't hesitate to take it...left me with tears in my eyes. I always wondered why he shot him so many times....then it hit me... that Vincent was granting his wish...to never go back.....because that would have been an even worse slower death for Neil. It's strange how, after committing murder and larceny that Vincent still felt for Neil. He sensed that they were both different sides of the same coin but had just taken different paths In life. Their focus and determination and dedication was the same like they were twins. Beautiful score and slow pull back from the camera to see it out.

My favourite film of all time. It’s incredible setting for the finale, but Michael Mann likes realism, and to him a soundstage is heresy!

You can still create realism in a soundstage. The main benefit is a controlled environment of light and sound, which in an industry where time is money, should never be overlooked. Having said, I agree this movie will forever go down as one of the very best.

@@IndieBFilms but it’s not like he only uses maybe one or two sets and the rest in real world locations. I don’t think he uses any set at all throughout the entire film. Each and every scene as far as I can make out is in a real, working space. Which is incredible for a director, not to to mention it’s length of 2hrs 30 mins.

@@lvsarmy2012 I don't disagree, he likely did only favour location shooting as you suggest. I'm just pointing out, that kind of bold style can often create a logistical nightmare for production, hamper the creativity of other departments and in some cases actually end up being counter productive. There's a misconception that stages are used only for creating fantastical sets that are purely fiction. Sure they're used for that, but I've worked on productions where the Director liked an existing location, but instead we ended up building it like for like as a set on a stage - because it allowed the Director/Cast more breathing space, not to mention more manipulation over lighting and free movement of camera. Locations are great, and sure they're sometimes more favourable. But any large scale budget Director that has access to a stage and dismisses it outright is seriously missing a trick.

Saw this when I was 15. Blew my mind. Saw it countless times since then. Am 42 now. My son is 2.Hope I'm around so I can watch it with my son when he's older. Truly one of the best movies.

Camera, script, acting, music - everything is just great. What a fantastic film.

Film-art at it`s best!

One of the greatest ending to a film

I reckon the inspiration is the relationship between Hector and Achilles. Neither wanted to be a part of what eventuated. It’s a modern day Illiad.

The inspiration was actually a real story based in Chicago. A cop and professional bank robber knew each other and actually had coffee together days before the robbers last job where he said I hope it's not you that finds me because I'll go down shooting. The cop killed him in an alley after he tried to rob a bank

Such a classic. One of my favorite of all time. Definitely top 5 for me.

These videos is the thing we need

McCauley was a pro, but couldn't match the combination of coffee and cocaine of Hanna. The reflexes were another level.

THIS is why its my favorite movie of all time.

Al Pacino didnt see De Niro dying to respect him

Total advantage was with DeNiro.....being chased in the dark he could have picked the guy off anywhere.They shoulda shown him get away for a part 2!

Pacinos character said he had a dream where all the dead, “bloated” bodies he helped put away/kill were all in one place and look at him just as the his dream ends. In this scene, the bad guy is practically dead and slouched only not staring at him, but shaking his hand. That’s why there’s that moment where after he passes away, there’s like this breeze, along with pacino’s character sighing almost as if relieved. As if after that day, the cop would never have that dream again and released his inner demons by shaking the hand of the one person who wasn’t another dog pacino had to put down. Like if all the killings and being focused too much in stopping bad guys took a toll in his life. I love this movie

Going to see this in the cinema today. Seen it a number of times since its release but still find myself watching replays on this site.

Two of the very best actors. So intense even tears freeze in your eyes.

Two masters at their craft (being portrayed by two masters at their craft). Imo one of the most "Bro Code" endings of all-time. There's no celebration or gloating from Hanna. No speeches or melodrama from McCauley. Just a quiet respect between two professionals. Absolutely perfect writing and direction by Michael Mann.

Chris was the only one that had the strength to walk away......

Well if he didn't he would be going to jail.... lmao. His wife set him up, yea, she warned him, but she set him up! He wouldn't of ran if she didn't you know, set him up.

I like the use of shadows and light and that symbolism playing out in the confrontation. You'd think being illuminated in the light, Pacino would be done for, but it's De Niro's shadow that does him in.

This was such a great movie. Fantastic Performances.Brilliant Script.

masterpiece 🔥🔥

Couldn’t have asked for a better, climactic ending between these 2 legendary actors. It’s something all of us fans had been waiting to see for a long time.

The fact that the De Niro didn't go down to the "ground" shows the respect.

My dad recommended me this movie yesterday and I was not disappointed! Mind-blowing!

One of the best movies you will ever watch

It’s not often a villain death almost brings a tear to my eye.

the music that plays at the end of this scene is absolutely utterly spellbinding. its impossible to watch this film and not feel chills

The soundtrack here is just stunning

Pacino killing Deniro was the most epic moment in movie history

*Hold my hand as I leave this world* 😢

Best ending music in the background ever.

Amazing scene of one of the best action movies. Fantastic!

Classic. The best.

Great ending, but Pacino got lucky. Deniro was a killer, had the defensive ground, and the element of surprise. 9/10 times, he wins.

Yep. It was to exemplify the theme that they were both the best at what they did, so they cancelled each other out as equal forces. The only change to the scene that made into the final cut was that Neil just doesn't shoot at the decisive moment.

This is a masterpiece. Bobby was doing great as ‘the bad guy’ and the words at the end keep on hitting every time. Specially when the Moby song kicks in. Masterpiece.

The Moby soundtrack makes this scene way more emotional and couldn't imagine a better ending.

Masterpiece.
