Why couldn't De Niro make it...

[Vintage Eclectic]

You think it was pride?

Absolutely.

Even in the scene, his character can't even focus long enough to assess the situation at hand. He has everything he needs to start a new life.

The simple fact that waingro was still alive was the last thing he felt weighed over his head, his unpredictability.

My nikka De Niro was on one the whole movie. Michael Mann need to get back on his shyt!

Ain't that the truth! Even Miami Vice wasn't a great movie, but Mann can do shootout like no other. The fukking way he shoots cities at night...

Yeah, looks like his last movie was Public Enemies in 2009. This is next: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2717822/?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_1

Of course it was pride..Waingro fukked up his mind and he couldn't let that shyt go...his pride clouded his code. simple as that.

Absolutely.

Are we going to forget the fact that De Niro advised his crew to walk away after they made Pacino at that cargo spot?

They're the ones that wanted to make that bank score, De Niro was content

De Niro was NEVER content. he wanted to do it and if they refused, he would have gotten another crew down the road...He just knew that at this point, his crew were in real danger, so he gave them a chance to save their own lives...De Niro was NEVER gonna be content until he took that final score.

De Niro was loyal And was willing to die for his principles. I don't think it was pride. I think he lived by a certain code, and that code meant more to him then happiness or freedom. Neal was a cold nikka. They don't make 'em like him anymore.

 

[MenacingMonk]

Cause that's how the script was written

I dont know, man.

Remember when he meets his bytch in the bar? She tries to start a conversation with him, he immediately gets defensive on some "why are you so interested in what I do?" type shyt.

When the crew mentioned Van Zant, & De Niro said he was a luxury even though Van Zant did some real disrespectful fukkshyt

It was just so against his character. I honestly don't think it was pride. Scarface was fueled by his pride, but he wasn't as calculated & careful as De Niro's character.

It wasn't until he saw his friends (Danny Trejo) lying down beaten to the brink of death. If anything it was a type of vengeance he felt

I agree it was vengeance. Look how loyal De Niro was. You saw how he put the fear of God in Val Kilmer's wife when he caught her cheating. Waingro got 3 members of his crew killed. He couldn't let that slide.

Cosign.

If I was in that position I would have got the fukk out of there with the sexy librarian bytch. Waingro would have went to jail or got killed cuz hes a douchebag and I would be on a tropical island not thinking about him at all. I guess that woudn't be as interesting for an ending though.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

That Bank shootout scene. Yes, I must discuss this every time Heat is brought up

I'm gonna use that next time I'm at the bar. "lady, why are you so interested in what I do? "

*beats the p*ssy up*

nikka... if my mans and them dead & I know where the killer lay, I don't think I would be able to leave honestly

That's if I was as calculated and skillful as Neil tho

Yeah i understand that but i'd HAVE TO rationalize, like as much as my friends would want to see that neo nazi dead, i'm sure they'd rather i didn't die or go to jail and actually got away with the money.
