To a point. He was going to kill the guy in a parking lot just for ####in' up the first heist. Now he has that on top of ratting him out to Henry Rollins and his boss. I forget exactly (going watch this Friday probably). Don't remember how he got the info, but maybe he miscalculated that the Heat were on top of Waingro (and that's his name according to imdb). I don't think going for him was out of character at all, the police just caught up to him and he wasn't expecting that as he came out of the hotel.massraider said:"That's the discipline"---DeNiro to Pacino in the coffee shop.jdoggydogg said:People commit road rage over a minor traffic insult. But you think it's unrealistic that DeNiro would want to kill the guy that set him up? I don't agree at all.yinzer said:Plus hes going to like Bora Bora and banging Amy Brenneman daily...Gimme a break, hes not going back to get himCarver said:I whole-heartedly agree with this. I still enjoyed the movie, but how he got so reckless at the end letting emotions get the better of him, seemed completely out of character. Especially after the whole spiel about never keeping anything in your life that you can't walk away from if the heat is around the corner. I guess a grudge/score settling didn't qualify?Aaron Rudnicki said:that setup of the coffee scene in Heat was dumb, but the dumbest part of the movie is the idea that DeNiro's character would go back for revenge on Waingro when he could have gotten away clean.
I would agree with you, except they went to great lengths to paint him as this disciplined, professional. He's got guys in his crew that have messed up professional lives, gamble too much, and have roots. He's the guy that is so ready to bail, he doesn't have chairs in his house.
I can almost buy that he would take a shot at Waingro, but once he saw that Waingro was bait (shotgun behind the counter, etc.), the smart guy would have bailed.
So he didn't go in thinking it was a suicide mission at all. Again, I can't remember 100%, but didn't he go straight for Waingro? If he knew cops where there he would've taken them out or gone a different way around.
