Michael Mann’s tense thriller has a twin-track plot in which the lives of thief Robert De Niro and cop Al Pacino tantalisingly circle each other. When they finally link up, it makes for riveting viewing. That wary first encounter cues the film’s explosive second half in which an entire city becomes the backdrop for their battle of wits.
