It's all about the inches
The ending ruined the movie for me. No way Val Kilmer gets out with a fake drivers license.

VOTE!!!
his baby moms said it wasn't him and she was risking it all so they was like
This is still the greatest shoot out ever on film to me. Any shoot out that's been good over the last 20 years probably went back and watched Heat first. I remember Michael Mann used real gun fire they shot off for the audio to make it as realistic as possible
the echos sounding off through the streets with the tall buildings

A cop stopped him after that. They had surveillance vids and pics of him. No cop killer is getting away like that.his baby moms said it wasn't him and she was risking it all so they was like

No way Deniro’s character risks his scott free getaway with his lady, to go to the airport and clip a snitch when there’s a manhunt out for him.

deniro was so calculated about taking risk, you'd have thunk he' would say fukk waynegro.

I knew he would die the moment he stopped flippin burgers and joined the squad. My dude Tone Loc snitchin on Slickman, no way val kilmer was supposed to get out with a haircut and phony ID. I wanted deniro to win so bad
also, they did your boy allstate bogus in the shootout.
I wanted Deniro to win too. I still can't watch that movie till the end. I usually stop watching after he kills Waingro.
Michael Mann or whatever cinematographer he uses is the goat as far as picking locations.

That's the point tho.
He fell in love and got caught slipping. I've always felt like Pacino should have died in the end, but ultimately the ending (while corny) works the way it is. De Niro's character broke his personal rule and paid the price. Having him "win" (kill Pacino and escape) would have been poor writing.
Probably on most days, my favorite movie of all time.
De Niro didn't or was unwilling break his personal code in the end, first, he chose the criminal value system and his own code of loyalty, over his own his heart, and then, he walked away, that is the real heartbreaking moment, for both of them. As she looks out the window, after waiting, getting more and more confused, scared, regretful, she is in so far over her head, then, hope, as he appears. He turns away, and shatters her hopes and heart in that scene.
"There's no point in me going anywhere now, if it isn't with you"
I may have used a version of that line recently with my Ebie, damn.

So. Loud.
So loud, in an otherwise pretty quiet movie.
A movie so quiet the leads, opposite ends of the law, can sit down for a cup of coffee together.
And that blue tint all over the movie.
It's a masterpiece.

I wish Michael Mann would do a Sci-Fi movie.
