The shoot out is what made this movie for me. The gunfire sounds so real, echoing through the buildings. And kilmer's face just ties it all together. I can't even describe it he just looks so.... REAL, like he's really gonna die if he doesn't make it out. The attention to detail, every actor uses their sights, and the difference with the cops using semi-auto and robbers using full auto. There is a very good reason for why they do that....
It's sad how most people today can't appreciate a movie like this. I feel like if I show it to any of my friends they won't be able to stay with it during the slow parts and dismiss it, but it pays off so well. Ive seen people comparing it to "the town" but I don't know about that
