actually kind of hate the ending of Heat. Great movie, but no way Pacino gets the drop on De Niro out in the field like that.

Not to mention that Pacino's pure luck hunch that some woman sitting in a car just has to be De Niro's woman always strikes me as pretty lame.

Specifically when De Niro told him in the diner that he'd leave her if the heat was around the corner. Pacino wouldn't have just assumed he'd have the girl with him after everything went sideways.

More importantly, De Niro's character would not have risked everything just to track down that POS Wayne Gros. He would have eventually got to him, but not at the risk of getting caught. For a guy that was super calculated the entire movie, that was the worst part of the Heat ending.

i actually disagree with this and like that deniro went back. it showed that he was "human" and had emotions and was capable of making an irrational decision. deniro's crew was his family(they all take out their wives together for dinner), and half of them were dead, thanks in part to wayne gro. this to me was not the problem with the ending.

i 100% agree with the other poster who said that pacino's hunch was lame.

the prestige has my vote for best ending.
