This is a clip from a film called Heat. It shows Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino together. they are pitted against each other in the film and i think this shows how the two respect each other despite being on opposite sides. In a lot of films there is respect between enemies, such as Catch me if you can. I think this works well because it gives the film a light hearted 'cat and mouse' feel.

The film Heat is brilliant because it builds up tension through out and comes to a very exiting climax.

This clip is a meeting between Pacino's character (the policeman) and Deniros character (the villain).

The film does not have such a clear protagonist/antagonist because the viewer is Supposed to respect both central characters. Films such as Heat and Oceans 11 etc. often have the criminals as the good characters and 'worse' criminals as the bad characters. another film with no real 'bad' characters is Pulp Fiction.

i saw pulp fiction recently and thought it was very good however it is perhaps more of a black comedy than a thriller.
